In some aspects, a computing system can receive, from a client device, a request to perform an analytical operation that involves a query regarding a common entity type. The computing system can extract a query parameter having a particular standardized entity descriptor for the common entity type and parse a transformed dataset that is indexed in accordance with standardized entity descriptors. The computing system can match the particular standardized entity descriptor from the query to records from the transformed dataset having index values with the particular standardized entity descriptor. The computing system can retrieve the subset of the transformed dataset having the index values with the particular standardized entity descriptor. In some aspects, the computing system can generate the transformed dataset by performing conversion operations that transform records in a data structure by converting a set of different entity descriptors into a standardized entity descriptor for the common entity type.
