Abstract

Described are techniques for reporting requested information to a client. A bidirectional graph is stored in a cache. The bidirectional graph includes a first set of nodes and a second set of edges between pairs of nodes of the first set, each node of the first set representing an object in an object model of a server. Each edge of the second set between a pair of nodes of the first set represents an association between two objects corresponding to the pair of nodes. A request is received from the client. A response to the request is determined by traversing a portion of the bidirectional graph to extract first information, and filtering the first information in accordance with a usage context customized for the client.
