1. A method of generating navigation filters for a target electronic resource associated with a content item, comprising:

  • identifying, by a processing system comprising at least one processing circuit, occurrences of normalized data entries in the target electronic resource associated with the content item;

    generating, by the processing system, a plurality of navigation filters each comprising a navigation filter heading and a plurality of parallel navigation filter items based on the identified normalized data entries in the target electronic resource associated with the content item; and

    transmitting, by the processing system, the plurality of navigation filters to a computing device for presentation via a computer network, wherein the navigation filter heading and the plurality of parallel navigation filter items of each of the plurality of navigation filters are displayed alongside the content item on a first electronic resource,wherein the plurality of navigation filters displayed on the first electronic resource comprise a first navigation filter and a second navigation filter, the first navigation filter comprising a first navigation filter heading expressing a first dimension of the content item and a first plurality of parallel navigation filter items being variations along the first dimension of the content item, and the second navigation filter comprising a second navigation filter heading expressing a second dimension of the content item and a second plurality of parallel navigation filter items being variations along the second dimension of the content item, andwherein each of the first plurality of parallel navigation filter items that are variations along the first dimension of the content item and each of the second plurality of parallel navigation filter items that are variations along the second dimension of the content item is embedded with a respective hyperlink which, upon clicking, causes the computing device to navigate to a respective portion of the target electronic resource in which the normalized data entries used for generating the plurality of navigation filters are identified, the respective portion of the target electronic resource being filtered by a respective item condition specified by the respective hyperlinked navigation filter item.
