Abstract

A computer program product includes instructions operable to cause a data processing apparatus to receive a packed data structure, receive a linked data assemblage, identify a discrepancy between the packed data structure and the linked data assemblage, and update one of the packed data structure and the linked data assemblage to remove the discrepancy. In the packed data structure, a description of a relationship to a second element is included with a description of a first element. In the linked data assemblage, a description of the relationship between the first element and the second element is separate from the description of the first element and a description of the second element. The computer program product can be tangibly stored on a computer-readable medium.
