Claim 5:
6. The system of claim 1, wherein the instructions are further operative to:
receive a third query for the data set;
determine that the first region is subject to a third data flow limitation on a third data entity, wherein the first region stores the third data entity, and wherein the second region does not store either the third data entity or a reference to the third data entity, and wherein a third region does not store either the third data entity or a reference to the third data entity;
determine that an indication exists within the first region that no data entities outside the first region are related to any data entity reported in query results of the third query;
based on at least determining that an indication exists within the first region that no data entities outside the first region are related, execute the third query within the first region and not executing the third query within the second region or the third region;
determine that an indication exists within the first region that a data entity within the second region is related to a data entity reported in query results of the third query;
based on at least determining that an indication exists within the first region that a data entity within the second region is related, execute the third query within the first region and within the second region;
determine that an indication exists within the first region that a data entity within an unspecified region outside the first region is related to a data entity reported in query results of the third query; and
based on at least determining that an indication exists within the first region that a data entity within an unspecified region outside the first region is related, execute the third query within the first region, within the second region, and within the third region.
