Tasks

  •   domainName

    A buy-side group of items that share aspects, but not necessarily an eBay
    category. For example “Women’s Dresses” or “Digital Cameras” could be
    domains. You can use a domainName to label a set of aspects that you
    display.



    Domains are extracted from item listing properties (such as item titles
    and subtitles).

         property
  •   domainDisplayName

    A buy-side group of items, for example “Shoes.” Domains are extracted
    from item listing properties, such as the title, descriptions, and so on.

         property
  •   aspect

    A characteristic of an item in a domain. For example, “Optical Zoom”,
    “Brand”, and “Megapixels” could be aspects of the Digital Cameras domain.
    Aspects are well-known, standardized characteristics of a domain, and
    they vary from domain to domain (the aspects of “Men’s Shoes” are
    different from those of “Digital Cameras”). A search request on the eBay
    site will often display aspects and their respective aspect values on the
    left-had side of a query response.



    Aspects are extracted from item listing properties (such as item titles
    and subtitles), and represent the characteristics of active items. Values
    returned in the Aspect container can be used as inputs to the
    aspectFilter fields in a query to distill the items returned by the
    query. eBay generates aspects dynamically from the items currently
    listed; aspects provide a view into what is currently available on eBay.
    Because of this, aspect values returned one day cannot be guaranteed to
    be valid the next day.



    The following graphic shows how eBay might return a set of aspects for
    the Digital Cameras domain. In this graphic, “Product Type”, “Brand”, and
    “Megapixels” are aspects, and “Point & Shoot”, “Canon”, and “12.0 to
    12.9 MP” are aspect values. Histogram values (item counts) are shown for
    each aspect value.
