  • FLEXIBLE DATA RECORDS FOR AN ONLINE MARKETPLACE
    Publication number: 20180144400
    Abstract: A set of dynamically-modifiable objects are maintained by a network system for a listing on an online marketplace. Each of the dynamically-modifiable objects includes a pointer referencing a corresponding one of a set of data records, each being associated with a respective asset for sale via the listing on the online marketplace. While the listing is active on the online marketplace, the network system can detect a change in status for a first data record that is referenced by a first pointer of a first dynamically-modifiable object. In response, the network system can identify a second data record not referenced by any pointers of the set of dynamically-modifiable objects and automatically update the first dynamically-modifiable object by de-referencing the first pointer from the first data record and referencing the first pointer to the second data record.
