Usability Highlights IntuiCat structures a product catalog as a hierarchical category tree. Each category contains a set of attributes pertinent to all products in that category. IntuiCat enforces attribute inheritance such that subcategories of a give category inherit all attributes of that category. This inheritance rule simplifies content management, since subcategories automatically carry all attributes of their parent. Another striking feature built on the inheritance relationship in IntuiCat is the parametric product search service.
Parametric search allows business procurement decisions to be made by parametric comparisons.
In addition, IntuiCat offers consumer and supplier matching service which simplifies the process of deal making. OCP is an open XML-based catalog protocol that enables the exchange of complex data between product catalogs. OCP consists of a language-independent representation of catalog data based on XML and a set of protocol operation codes for specifying a wide variety of operations on a catalog. OCF is an open standard for describing product catalogs. OCF is used to represent, store, and transport product information.
