The canonical description is, "it's an object graph management and

less interesting one.
So it manages a graph of objects and stores them. You can't do the
second part without the first,
Yes you can -- NSKeyedArchiver does just that, for example.
and how often have you used Core Data without persistence in mind?
A couple of times, actually...
The object graph management part includes relationship maintenance and
undo, both of which are very powerful. You might want to take
advantage of that without asking Core Data to store the objects
(although this is probably less likely to be the case on 10.5 given
NSAtomicStore).
