I would define it as a file that is distributed for use among many decoupled hosts and which is generated from some sort of source input. Packages/libraries such as those used by NPM and Pip are some examples. It may also be an entire program, an OS package, a virtual machine, a Docker image, even things like PNG images. Artifactory has tooling to make it easy to integrate into typical build pipelines.
