Abstract

The present invention extends to methods, systems, and computer program products for identifying relevant information to cache. A computer system accesses a marked data entity that has been marked for caching at a client computer system. The marked data entry is marked for caching based on the relevance of the marked data entity from the perspective of a requested data entity. The computer system identifies relationships from the marked data entity to one or more other data entities. The computer system selects, from among the identified relationships, any relationships that satisfy a relevance threshold from the perspective of the requested data entity. The computer system identifies, from among the one or more other data entities, any of the other data entities that correspond to a selected relationship satisfying the relevance threshold. The computer system marks the identified other data entities for caching.
