1. In a computer system, a computer-implemented method comprising:

  • dynamically generating a schema to represent multiple hierarchies of inter-object relationships between a plurality of objects in a data polyarchy, the schema being generated based on values of attributes of the objects;

    receiving a request from a client based on the schema, the request indicating that at least one subset of the objects comprise a similar attribute; and

    responsive to receiving the request;

    accessing an object of the objects based on the request by retrieving the object in a manner that is independent of any hierarchical data relationship between the data objects in the at least one subset;

    transforming the object into transformed data that expresses any inter-object relationship between the object and any other object of the objects based on the request; and

    issuing the transformed data to the client.
