John is wondering..”How could I find the coffee maker my parents had when I was ten years
old??..” The current merchant systems have a tendency to filter out objects that do not have a
mercantile value. For example, John is searching for an object that has a value for him and maybe
not for other people and for the common mercantile system. For this reason, it will be very difficult
for him to find the object even on the web. On the other hand, we observe the development of
second-hand shops that gather objects that are pushed aside. John knows that he could have a
chance to find its coffee maker in those shops. However, he may have to visit many places to finally
find it!
Starting from this observation, we propose a novel approach to manage storage and cataloguing of
objects of any kind. The idea consists in assisting the digitizing of objects collected by 2nd hand
shops in order to allow them to publish online their catalog.
