A data analysis system receives a data string comprising a natural language query pertaining to a dataset, wherein the dataset is associated with a data object model comprising a plurality of objects, and parses the data string to identify a plurality of individual words within the data string. The data analysis system identifies, based on the plurality of individual words, one or more objects of the plurality of objects, wherein the one or more objects are associated with the natural language query in the data string. The data analysis system further determines one or more artifacts that are based on the dataset, wherein each of the one or more artifacts is associated with one of the one or more objects and provides a response to the natural language query.
