relational artifacts

Relational artifacts are digital tools or data objects that store both information and the relationships between different pieces of data. Think of them as structured containers—like a database—that not only hold facts but also define how those facts relate to each other. For example, in a project management app, tasks, users, and deadlines are stored alongside their connections, such as which user is responsible for which task. This structure enables complex, meaningful data interactions, making it easier to retrieve, analyze, and update related information efficiently within a system.
