1. A system comprising one or more computer servers configured to: receive, via a user interface, mapping information for mapping one or more data elements of input data to one or more data elements of a data object; generate transform information for creating the data object by transforming the input data into the data object, based on the mapping information; store the transform information; obtain a universal resource indicator (URI) of an input data file, the input data file comprising an electronic file having the input data; use the URI of the input data file to automatically obtain the input data file; obtain the input data from the input data file; use the transform information and the input data to generate the data object; and store the data object; wherein the one or more computer servers are further configured to, subsequent to storing the data object: examine the input data file; determine, from the input data file, that the input data has changed; and update the data object to reflect a change in the input data.
