Dynamically exposing relationships among entities contained in data
stores. A method disclosed herein can include receiving data related to a
given object that is contained in a given data store, and dynamically
determining one or more relationships between the given object and one or
more further objects. These relationships can include group memberships,
management relationships, containment relationships, or the like. As the
data related to the stored objects changes, the relationships among the
objects can be updated. Once the relationships are defined,
representations thereof may be presented to a user via a suitable user
interface. The user interface may present these relationships as graphic
icons, hypertext, or the like, and may further depict the dynamic
relationships distinctly from static directory listings. The user may
then navigate these relationships by interacting with these
representations.
