Abstract
A method executes at a computing device having one or more processors and memory. The device identifies a set of objects for a data visualization platform, each object in the set of objects representing a database, a data source, a table, a data field, a user, a visualization worksheet, or a calculated field. The device generates a data model from the set of objects. Each object of the set of objects is represented as a node in the data model and each directed edge in the data model identifies a relationship between a pair of objects. The device generates one or more shortcuts in the data model according to object types of the objects in the set of objects. Each shortcut represents a relationship, between a respective pair of objects, not represented by a directed edge. Then the device stores the data model, including the generated shortcuts, in the memory.
