Abstract
A method and system for managing access to data. A plurality of data items is stored across a plurality of partitions according to a graph-based data model. The data model associates each data item with an identifier of a source entity pertaining to the data item, an identifier of a destination entity pertaining to the data item, and an identifier of a type of directed relationship pertaining to the data item from the source entity to the destination entity. When a lookup request is received identifying a source entity, a particular partition is identified based on the source entity identifier. A response to the lookup request is then returned that includes data item(s) from the identified partition.
