The invention provides a method and apparatus for managing stored data objects. The method includes detecting involved attributes of stored data objects based on object management rules, determining expected data storage management costs for each possible order of attribute acquisition for the detected attributes, detecting an order of attribute acquisition that has a data storage management cost which is minimal or below a predetermined threshold, acquiring the attributes of the stored data objects based on the detected order of attribute acquisition, and executing an object management policy based on the acquired attributes to manage the stored objects at the low cost for object storage, attribute acquisition and policy evaluation.
