ABSTRACT:
Techniques are described for specifying virtual datasets within an enterprise software system. A computer-implemented system, for example, includes an enterprise planning system and a computing device coupled to the enterprise planning system via a network connection. The computing device includes an object store that stores a dataset, an application programming interface (API) that defines an operation for specifying the virtual dataset from the dataset, and an object model that stores a virtual dataset to the object store in response to receiving the operation defined by the API. The computing device further includes a plurality of applications that utilize the virtual dataset for a further operation defined by the API without resolving the virtual dataset. Because virtual dataset may be utilized without first resolving them, the virtual datasets may require less storage space within a memory, may automatically remain synchronous with the underlying dataset, and may quickly layer to more readily perform complicated operations.
