Abstract
The relationships between the artifacts managed by different tools in a federated architecture are the glue that holds the overall design together. This paper explores the different mechanisms that exist for managing those relationships, discusses pitfalls of each one of them and provides a list of critical capabilities a complete engineering data management solution must provide.
