Systems and methods for dynamically generating a schema representing multiple
hierarchies of inter-object relationships are described. In one aspect, a polyarchical
query language data structure includes first, second, and third data fields. The
first data field is used to specify a particular schema for presenting or managing
a plurality of objects in a data polyarchy based on values of attributes in the
objects. The second data field is to indicate an attribute of interest. The third
data field indicates how one or more objects that include the attribute of interest
are to be presented or managed with respect to one or more participating dimensions
of inter-object relationships based on the schema.
