Abstract

Various embodiments are directed to methods and systems for presenting an interface to a user. For example, a computer may receive a request for content originating from a browser application executing on a client machine in electronic communication with the at least one server. The request may identify a first commodity and a first event associated with the commodity and may comprise a Universal Resource Locator (URL) identifying the first commodity. The computer may parse a commodity descriptor file to identify a first service associated with the first commodity and the first event. The commodity descriptor file may comprise definitions of a plurality of commodities and wherein the plurality of commodities comprises the first commodity. In addition, the computer may generate a service call requesting the first service, and execute the at least one service associated with the first commodity and the first event. The at least one service may query the data source to retrieve data describing the commodity and construct a model of the commodity according to the data.
