METHOD, SYSTEM, AND PROGRAM PRODUCT FOR PROVIDING PROXIES FOR DATA OBJECTS
First Claim
1. A method for providing proxies for data objects, comprising:
- obtaining at least one data graph having hierarchically arranged data objects;
identifying a reference from a first data object to a second data object of the at least one data graph; and
providing a reference object in the at least one data graph having the first data object as a proxy for the reference.

Abstract
The present invention provides a method, system, and program product for providing proxies for data objects such as SDOs. Specifically, under the present invention, a reference between two data objects is identified. The two data objects could reside in different data graphs, or they could reside in separate branches of a common data graph. In any event, a reference object will be inserter/provided into the branch or data graph containing the reference. The reference object is typically inserted at runtime of an application utilizing the data graph(s), and functions as a proxy for the reference. To this extent, the reference object could be an instance of the data object being referenced, or the reference itself.
