Abstract

Embodiments provide a computer-executable method, computer system and non-transitory computer-readable medium for programmatically processing text information to generate attribute descriptors contained therein. The method includes programmatically accessing, via a network device, a textual unit, the textual unit associated with a commercial entity or a commercial object. The method also includes executing a text processing engine to programmatically generate an attribute descriptor from the textual unit. The method further includes storing, on a non-transitory computer-readable storage device, the attribute descriptor in association with identification of the commercial entity or the commercial object.
