A method of encapsulating information in a database, comprising: partitioning a message into a plurality of object class entries within the database, each of the plurality of object class entries constituting a portion of an object class from a plurality of object classes having a given hierarchy within the database; generating at least one pointer to at least one of the plurality of object class entries; and storing the plurality of object class entries in non-adjacent storage locations within the database, with at least one of the plurality of object class entries stored in association with the generated at least one pointer such that the at least one pointer points to a higher-level object class entry, as determined by the object class hierarchy, than the at least one object class entry stored in association with the at least one pointer.
