A method comprising: identifying that a listing of an item is exposed to a plurality of users of a first subsystem of an electronic commerce system via a set of categories of a first front-end taxonomy, the first front-end taxonomy being associated with the first subsystem; mapping the listing of the item to a set of categories of a global back-end taxonomy of the electronic commerce system, the global back-end taxonomy being maintained independently of the first front-end taxonomy and a second front-end taxonomy, the second front-end taxonomy being associated with a second subsystem of the electronic commerce system; mapping a category of the set of categories of the global back-end taxonomy to a category of a set of categories of the second front-end taxonomy associated with the second subsystem; and exposing the listing of the item to a plurality of users of the second subsystem via the set of categories of the second front-end taxonomy based on the mapping of the listing of the item to the set of categories of the global back-end taxonomy and the mapping of the set of categories of the global back-end taxonomy to the category of the second front-end taxonomy, the exposing of the listing of the item being performed by a processor of a machine.
