1. A system, comprising:
a memory; and
a processor, operatively coupled to a memory, that executes executable components stored on the memory, the executable components comprising:
a user interface component configured to receive, from a technology owner, a technology transfer document containing information about a product to be manufactured and describing a manufacturing process for manufacturing the product; and
a conversion component configured to
extract content from the technology transfer document as content modules based on general parsing instructions defined in a content indexer and applicable to technology transfer documents from multiple different technology owners,
extract, as a subset of the content modules, table data from a table contained in the technology transfer document based on one or more semantic rules defined in a semantic rules file, wherein the semantic rules are specific to the technology owner and comprise at least one of a rule dictating how content of a horizontally merged cell or a vertically merged cell discovered in the table is to be mapped to the package model or a rule indicating two or more cells of the table that are to be combined in the package model, and
generate a package model comprising a hierarchically structured organization of the content modules representing content sections of the technology transfer document.
