Abstract: A system and related method provide items of interest to a user for modifying a current user collection of items and then modify the collection. User profile information is received from a user associated with the current user collection and then parsed into a plurality of user factors. A user factor weight is assigned for each of the user factors, and these are stored in a user profile memory. Element provider profile information associated with element provider profiles is received and parsed into element provider factors. Each of these are assigned a weight, and they are stored in an element provider profile memory. A matching score is determined between the user profile and a first element provider profile. An identifier of this provider and its matching score is output to the user. The current user collection is then modified to include an element related to a selected element provider.
