Techniques are provided for associating product offerings with product abstractions. The techniques enable generating a second product offering based on a first product offering by mapping items in the first product offering using one or more mapping dictionaries, where a product offering is an offer to sell a particular product by a particular party. Once the second product offering has been generated, a matching score is determined for each of one or more product abstractions; and then one or more product abstractions are associated with the first product offering based on the matching scores for the second product offering.
