Abstract

The embodiments of the invention provide a method of organizing assets having artifacts in a repository. The method begins by organizing artifacts of at least one of the assets as internal nodes in a graph based on a context. The method simultaneously organizes the assets as external nodes in the graph based on the context. The internal nodes comprise artifacts having metadata that is updated by an artifact producer and/or an asset producer. Moreover, the external nodes comprise artifacts that are defined and/or updated by roles other than an artifact producer and/or an asset producer.
