loading the normalized cache data object into a cache store corresponding to the requesting computing system.

13. The computer implemented method of claim 12 wherein parsing comprises:

parsing the data table into the normalized cache data object by including a reference to an inter-tenant sharable data object, that includes inter-tenant sharable data that is shamble among a plurality of different tenant cache systems.

14. The computer implemented method of claim 13 wherein parsing comprises:

identifying a data item in the data table; and

determining whether a normalized cache data object already exists in the cache and can be referred to for data in the identified data item.

15. The computer implemented method of claim 14 wherein, it is determined that a normalized cache data object does not already exist in the cache store, that can be referred to for data in the identified data item, then constructing the normalized cache data object corresponding to the identified data item in the cache store.

16. The compute implemented method of claim 15 wherein parsing further comprises:

generating the reference to the inter-row sharable data object; and

generating the reference to the inter-tenant sharable data object.
