Artifacts allow you to show additional information about a Process i.e. how data, documents and other objects are used and updated during the business process. Artifacts are not directly related to sequence, or message flow, of the process.

 

Data Object

Data Objects are documents or other types of data, that show how data are used during a business process. Data objects can be used to define the input and output of data to/from activities.
