Data The Problems with Data
The Problems with Data It takes us too long to introduce products. Product information is in too many places, and we don’t have a system or process for managing all of the information that we need to offer our products. We have customer data spread across many systems. We don’t know which data is right, and we can’t see our complete relationship with our customers.
Master Data What is it ?
Master data, which may include reference data, is information that is key to the operation of business Master Data
Master Data Management What is MDM ? Core Capabilities Benefits
Decouples master information from individual applications Becomes a central, application independent resource Ensures consistent master information across transactional and analytical systems Simplifies ongoing integration tasks and new application development Addresses key issues such as data quality and consistency proactively rather than “after the fact” in the data warehouse What is MDM?

Master Data Services Concepts and Features Core Capabilities
Models Entities Attributes Members Hierarchies Derived Explicit Collections Versions Database Concepts and Features
Container of logical entities Unit of data versioning Boundary for entites relationships Typically named for their „primary entity“ 1-N models per MDS instance RDBMS metaphor : Database OLAP metaphor : Cube Model
Container for master data („members“) Identifies the attributes for entity members Can be related to each other (1:1, 1:N, N:M) Examples : Products, Customers, Country 1-N entities per Model RDBMS metaphor : Table OLAP metaphor : Dimension Entity
An instance of an entity Define the attribute values for the instance Can be related to each other (1:1, 1:N, N:M) Examples : „BK-M18B-40“, „Mountain 500 Black, 40“ 1-N members per entity RDBMS metaphor : Record OLAP metaphor : Dimension member Member
A data value associated with an entity member Text, numeric, datetime, link, ... Examples : Name, Size, Color, Width, Height Can be sourced from another entity Domain based attribute 1-N attributes per entity RDBMS metaphor : Column OLAP metaphor : Attribute Attribute
Relational arrangement of entity members Types Derived : Based on attributes Explicit : each member can have one parent assigned 1-N hierarchies per model RDBMS metaphor : Parent/Child relationship OLAP metaphor : Hierarchy Hierarchy
