Summary:Disclosed is a method, apparatus and computer program for producing input to a transformation engine. A request is received to transform some data. It is determined whether the data is stored in a form permitting said data to be lazily constructed into a graph structure upon request by a client. If the data is stored is such a form, then it is determined whether to convert the stored data into a graph structure from which structure input to the transformation engine can be produced. In the affirmative the data is converted and input to the transformation engine is produced from this graph structure. Otherwise input to the transformation engine can be produced directly from the stored data.
