• determining which of the one or more information objects in the document are suitable for merging into the document storage;
• and
• add the one or more information objects from the document to the document storage to associate information objects corresponding to the real world object.

A computer-readable non-transitory storage medium comprising executable instructions that, when executed by a processing device, cause the processing device to:

• identify one or more information objects corresponding to a real world object, one information object from a document and at least one information object from a document storage for a combination of global identification patterns that exist in the document and in the document storage;
• determining which of the one or more information objects in the document are suitable for merging into the document storage;
