Abstract

A description of one or more items identified by a buyer for purchase is received. Each item is represented as an object in a hierarchical data structure. A processing strategy is executed on the hierarchical data structure to generate purchasing information describing a purchase transaction involving the items. A display preprocessing strategy is executed to create display information describing a display of the generated purchasing information. The display information is transmitted to the buyer for generation of the display using the display information.
