Claim 8:
9. A method, implemented in a computing system comprising at least one hardware processor and at least one memory coupled to the at least one hardware processor, the method comprising:
receiving instructions to create a first instance of a first data artifact in a hierarchical schema comprising a plurality of data artifacts distributed among a plurality of levels of a hierarchy of the hierarchical schema;
creating the first instance of the first data artifact at a first level of the plurality of levels of the hierarchy, the first instance of the first data artifact comprising, or pointing to, first data;
receiving instructions to create a second instance of the first data artifact;
creating the second instance of the first data artifact at the first level of the hierarchy, the second instance of the first data artifact comprising, or pointing to, second data, wherein the second data comprises all or a portion of the first data or is different in whole or part from the first data;
receiving instructions to create at least a first instance of a second data artifact in the hierarchical schema at a second level of the hierarchy, wherein the first instance of the first data artifacts points to the at least a first instance of the second data artifact and the second level of the hierarchy is lower than the first level of hierarchy; and
creating the at least a first instance of the second data artifact.
