Search-based discovery involves users browsing listings and making their own interpretations. Recommendation-based discovery involves systems suggesting options based on interpreted attributes. Selection-based discovery involves AI systems making decisions on behalf of users. Each stage has different representation requirements. Selection requires structured, verified, explainable, and interoperable representation.
