1. A method for execution by a computing device, the method comprises:

  • obtaining a data object identifier regarding a data object to identify the data object;

    obtaining a plurality of boundary indicators based on the data object and one or more retrieval preferences, wherein the one or more retrieval preferences are utilized to set partition boundaries associated with partitioning the data object into a plurality of data partitions, and wherein the plurality of boundary indicators indicate respective partition boundaries, in which respective data partitions are further segmented into a plurality of data segments and the data segments are dispersed storage error encoded into one or more sets of encoded data slices; and

    generating sets of dispersed storage network (DSN) addresses corresponding to respective data partitions of the plurality of data partitions based on the plurality of boundary indicators and the data object identifier, such that a first DSN address set of the sets of DSN addresses has a first common identifier for a first data partition, a common indicator corresponding to retrieval preferences for the first data partition, and a first unique set of encoded data slice identifiers associated with encoded data slices of the first data partition and a second DSN address set of the sets of DSN addresses has a second common identifier for a second data partition, a common indicator corresponding to retrieval preferences for the second data partition, and a second unique set of encoded data slice identifiers associated with encoded data slices of the second data partition.
