Abstract

A short identifier can be generated for each of a plurality of data objects. Each short identifier can include a first portion characterizing a sort order and a second portion characterizing a composite component identifier associated with the corresponding data object. The sort order can characterize a relationship (e.g., grouping, etc.) among at least a subset of the plurality of data objects. After the short identifiers have been generated, they can be stored in a database to enable queries of the database containing a short identifier to return data contained within the corresponding data objects. Related systems, apparatus, methods, and/or articles are also described.
