Abstract

In general, the subject matter described in this specification can be embodied in methods, systems, and program products for importing objects. A computer system processes structured electronic documents that define objects to be imported into a database in multiple phases. In a first phase, the computer system analyzes the structured electronic documents to determine whether the objects to be imported are related to one or more other objects that have yet to be stored in the database. If so, the computer system generates contextual information that defines the relationships between the objects. In a second phase, the computer system establishes relationships in the database between related objects using the contextual information.
