An artifact models a physical entity such as a file. An artifact is shown by a rectangle with the keyword «artifact». The presence of an artifact on a node is shown by physically nesting the artifact symbol inside the node symbol.
Various kinds of artifacts, such as databases, web pages, executables, or scripts, can be marked with stereotypes.
