1. A computer-implemented method of managing artifact information, wherein at least one internal sequence of artifact information is stored in an internal data store; wherein at least one external sequence of artifact information is stored in a respective external data repository, and wherein a respective internal sequence relates to a respective external sequence; the method comprising:
importing metadata relating to the respective external sequence from a respective external data repository to an external repository aggregator;
importing the metadata relating to the respective external sequence from the external repository aggregator to a data storage platform;
importing the metadata relating to the respective external sequence from the data storage platform to the internal data store;
checking the respective external data repository for changes relating to the respective external sequence with a first frequency;
checking for changes relating to the metadata relating to the respective external sequence with a second frequency;
when changes relating to the respective external sequence occur:
importing the metadata relating to the respective external sequence from the respective external data repository to the data storage platform, the external repository aggregator, or the data storage platform and the external repository aggregator; and
when changes relating to the metadata occur:
importing the metadata relating to the respective external sequence from the data storage platform to the internal data store; and
introducing a link into the respective internal sequence, wherein the link is based on the metadata and links the respective internal sequence stored in the internal data store to the respective external sequence stored in the respective external repository via the data storage platform and the external repository aggregator.
