 +===== Discussion =====
 +
 +An Artifact is an identifiable digital work product created, acquired, used, modified, generated, exchanged, delivered, or preserved during an activity.
 +
 +An Artifact may be atomic or composite. A composite Artifact may contain, organize, or reference other Artifacts.
 +
 +An Artifact may have multiple versions. A version may have one or more representations in different formats or media types. Copies of the same representation may exist at multiple locations.
 +
 +An Artifact remains distinct from:
 +
 +The subject that the Artifact describes
 +The activity that creates or uses the Artifact
 +The metadata that describes and manages the Artifact
 +The repository or location in which the Artifact is stored
 +The physical object, system, or storage medium associated with the Artifact

 +
 +===== Note =====
 +
 +Within Crucible, an Artifact exists in digital form.
 +
 +A physical object, system, or storage medium may contain, embody, or be produced from an Artifact, but does not become an Artifact solely for that reason.
 +
 +Identification of an Artifact does not by itself establish its version, provenance, authenticity, integrity, approval status, release status, retention status, or suitability for a particular purpose.
 +
 +An Artifact may exist independently of Crucible. An Artifact placed under Crucible control is described by an Artifact Catalog Record.
 +
 +The term does not require a particular format, media type, repository, storage medium, location, tool, or implementation technology.
 +
 +===== Example =====
 +
 +A software package delivered by a third party is an Artifact. Different versions of the package remain associated with the same identifiable work product while constituting distinct managed versions.
