Abstract
A client device of a data storage system is configured to generate an aggregate object class request, or view class request, that relates to multiple objects stored by an object storage device. The aggregate object class request represents a view of the object model stored by the object storage device in a format that is specific to the perspective of the client device. In response to receiving the aggregate property file, such as from the client device, the object storage device accesses the property files associated with each of the metadata tags, retrieves the corresponding object data, and identifies the object data to the client device. With such a configuration, use of the aggregate object class request allows the client device to receive object data associated with multiple object classes with a single request or call to the object storage device.
