Amazon BTG refinements for SoftwareVideoGamesGenre



While trying to list products on Amazon I have come up against so many major issues I'm going crazy working round them. The newest in the list is mapping classifications to products using the XML/XSD C# way.


As noted in a different question Found Here there is no direct mapping between them. This is complicated by the fact that Amazons XSD validation requires certain parameters to be required such as SoftwareVideoGamesGenre in the case of Software Video Games which in the UK can be found in the PC & Video Games classification.


My issue is this:


After a search on the www I came across this post Amazon Software and Video Games Genre Here it is stated that the refinements (accepted genre types) can be found in the BTG guides. However they are not found in the UK BTG.


My question is:


Has anyone been able to successfully map Amazon classifications to Products as at present I am only able to map to a generalized upper classification without having to manually go through the 10's of thousands of classifications checking each of the required parameters for each product type or to at least a parent more generalized classification using a more generalized product.
