1. A method for execution by a dispersed storage processing module, the method comprises: receiving a request to retrieve a portion of a data object that is stored in a distributed storage network (DSN), wherein the request includes a DSN address for data storage mapping information regarding the storage of the data object and a data interpretation parameter; retrieving, based on the DSN address, the data storage mapping information from DSN memory, wherein the data storage mapping information maps storage of the data object as data segments in data storage regions of the DSN in accordance with data storage optimization parameters; accessing, based on the data interpretation parameter, indexing information regarding the data object, wherein the indexing information identifies a categorization of the data object into a plurality of categorical data portions; identifying, for the portion of the data object, a specific categorical data portion of the plurality of categorical data portions in accordance with the indexing information; equating the specific categorical data portion to specific storage information of the data storage mapping information to identify at least one data segment of the data segments of at least one data storage region of the data storage regions; and retrieving the at least one data segment of the at least one data storage region from the DSN memory in accordance with the specific storage information.
