Normalized data models are programmatically generated from a combination of product configuration model data, product configuration engine runtime validation, normalized data mappings, and settings files declaring the scope of model content. A master model generation process effectively transforms conventional configuration data into normalized configuration data. The normalized configuration data allows a user to, for example, conduct comparative product configurations. In one embodiment, a normalized model generation process generates normalized data model representing attributes and normalized features of a product. In one embodiment, the normalized configuration data model is then added to in-memory data structures used during runtime contextual configuration analysis, thus reducing the total number of data items preserved as efficiencies result from eliminating duplication and effective use of search structures. In-memory representation of the normalized configuration data model can then be serialized to disk as a file to be loaded for runtime use in a deployment.
