Pre-Sales Marketplace Management Amazon's two greatest assets are its customers and its catalog. The Item Management team owns this catalog of tens of millions of items. We make sure that the catalog is always available, that it can support billions of requests a day, and that changes in item pricing and availability are updated instantly. Whenever one of our thousands of merchant submits a new item, we make sure that the item is not already in our catalog; if t wo merchants tell us about the same item in different ways, we will merg e their submissions into one single description. We are working to exten d the catalog to serve as a general repository of knowledge. For example , we can derive "this item is a mountain bicycle, mountain bicycles are a kind of bicycle, and Lance Armstrong rides bicycles."
