Method of Caching Data Assets

Abstract

There is provided a method of caching data assets in a system (10) comprising at least one server (20) and at least one user device (50). Each device (50) includes a cache arrangement (120, 130, 140) comprising a plurality of caches (120, 130, 140) for storing requested data assets therein. The method includes the steps of: (a) arranging for one or more data assets to be stored in a first memory (30) of said at least one server (20) and data definitions corresponding to said one or more data assets in a second memory (40) of said at least one server (20); (b) arranging for said at least one server (20) to be responsive to one or more data requests from said at least one user device (50) by returning to said at least one user device (50) corresponding one or more requested data assets. The one or more requested data assets are provided to said at least one user device (50) with associated data definitions for controlling storage and processing of said one or more requested data assets in said at least one user device (50), said at least one server (20) thereby being operable to at least partially control the cache arrangement (120, 130, 140) in said at least one device (50).
