Claim:
A method for facilitating discovery of data representing items, the method comprising: receiving data representing a selection request to transmit data to specify data representing subsets of item representations and to specify data representing relationships of the item representations to a principal item representation responsive to selection of a selected item representation; executing instructions at a processor to determine the relationships of the item representations to the selected item representation as the principal item representation; associating the item representations to positions of a data arrangement based on the relationships of the item representations, the data arrangement including: subsets of portions of the data arrangement, a subset of the portions of the data arrangement being associated with an attribute, the data arrangement further including: an intersection portion of the data arrangement at which at least two of the subsets of the portions intersect, and an interstitial portion of the data arrangement disposed between the intersection portion and another intersection portion of the data arrangement; forming data representing a selectable item representation associated with the intersection portion of the data arrangement; and causing transmission of data representing the data arrangement including data representing the item representations to be presented on an interface of a computing device, at least a portion of the data representing the item representations includes the data representing the selectable item representation.
