Abstract
Systems and a method for categorizing items in both actual and virtual categories are described. The method receives a selection that identifies a parent category and a first category based on the parent category. The method further identifies the plurality of data items based on a link from the first category to a second category. The data items are not user-classifiable under the first category and are user-classified under the second category. The method finally communicates a user interface, over a network, that includes the plurality of data items.
