Hi Michael,
Yes, there is a relation between those.
Graphite is the UI application framework used for modern React applications in IBM MAS via the Maximo Application Framework (MAF).
The Carbon Design System is IBM’s open-source design system. It is broader in scope, not limited to Graphite or React, and also supports Angular, Vue, Svelte and others.
Graphite React components are built on top of the Carbon Design System.
