Graph object storage and access control system and method

Abstract

A processing system receives graph object data and graph object metadata. The processing system stores the graph object metadata inline with the graph object data. The graph object metadata indicates access permissions for corresponding graph objects. Because the graph object metadata is stored inline with the graph object data, the graph object metadata is more easily retrieved and fewer system resources are consumed to determine access permissions of a requester as compared to a system where graph object metadata is stored separately from the graph object data.
