A computer-implemented method, system, and/or computer program product generates and utilizes synthetic context-based objects. One or more processors define a context object, where the context object provides a context that identifies a specific subject-matter, from multiple subject-matters, of a non-contextual data object. The processor(s) associate the non-contextual data object with the context object to define a synthetic context-based object and the synthetic context-based object with at least one specific data store. A request is received from a requester for data from said at least one specific data store that is associated with the synthetic context-based object, where said at least one specific data store is within a database of multiple data stores. Data is returned to the requester from said at least one specific data store that is associated with the synthetic context-based object.

Generation of synthetic context objects using bounded context objects

A processor-implemented method, system, and/or computer program product generates and utilizes synthetic context-based objects. A non-contextual data object is associated with a context object, which comports with a predetermined set of constraints, to define a synthetic context-based object, where the non-contextual data object ambiguously relates to multiple subject-matters, and where the context object provides a context that identifies a specific subject-matter, from the multiple subject-matters, of the non-contextual data object. The synthetic context-based object is then associated with at least one specific data store, which includes data that is associated with data contained in the non-contextual data object and the context object. A request for a data store that is associated with the synthetic context-based object results in the return of at least one data store that is associated with the synthetic context-based object.
