1. A processor-implemented method for managing access to data stored in a document management system, comprising:
- examining an electronic object, wherein the electronic object is configured in accordance with one of a plurality of allowed base electronic object formats;
extracting information from the electronic object based on examining the electronic object;
determining at least one indexing identifier characteristic of the electronic object using the extracted information;
determining automatically via a processor at least one relationship between the electronic object and an organizational index for the document management system, said at least one relationship determined from a dynamic system correlation including;
comparing the at least one indexing identifier characteristic of the electronic object with the organizational index; and
associating the at least one indexing identifier characteristic of the electronic object with a package identifier of a transferable package;
updating the organizational index to incorporate the at least one indexing identifier characteristic of the electronic object;
storing the electronic object in association with the transferable package having the package identifier and corresponding to the organizational index in the document management system; and
storing said at least one relationship in the document management system.
