Abstract: Point-of-Interest (POI) data is stored according to a first, POI library as a flat file in a database. An engine is positioned between the POI library and an interface. The interface is configured to interact with data structured in a hierarchical manner and stored according to a second library (e.g., a modeling interface utilizing folders). The engine functions to wrap a POI object taken from a table of the POI library, into an augmented object recognized and handled by the second library of the (hierarchical) interface. To accomplish this, the engine augments the POI table with an additional column that is to be indexed by the second library. In this manner, embodiments may impart additional, hierarchy-based functionality to existing POI handling schemes. Particular embodiments may impart enhanced security (e.g., permissions at the data object-level) to existing POI schemes that implement permissions only at the POI-level and/or at the application-level.
