Claim 0:
1. A method, performed by a data processing system, for obtaining, in a computationally efficient manner, a first attribute value of a first instance of a data entity in response to a query, the method comprising:
(A) obtaining, through an application programming interface (API) of the data processing system, a query for accessing data, the query comprising:
a first portion comprising information for identifying at least the first instance of the data entity stored in at least one data store; and
a second portion indicating at least one attribute of the data entity for which to obtain a value;

(B) generating a plurality of executable queries including a first set of one or more executable queries and a second set of one or more executable queries, the generating comprising:
using the first portion of the query, generating the first set of executable queries for identifying at least the first instance of the data entity stored in the at least one data store; and
using the second portion of the query, generating the second set of executable queries for obtaining attribute values for at least the first instance of the data entity identified using the first set of executable queries, the attribute values including the first attribute value;

(C) obtaining results for the query provided via the API by executing the plurality of executable queries, the results including at least the first attribute value of the first instance of the data entity; and
(D) outputting at least some of the results including at least the first attribute value of the first instance of the data entity.
