Master data
Definition
Master data is a data category held by an organisation which describes objects that it needs to reference in order to perform its transactions.
DMBoK2
Master data is data about the business entities (e.g., employees, customers, products, financial structures, assets, and locations) that provide context for busi-ness transactions and analysis. An entity is a real world object (person, organiza-tion, place, or thing). Entities are represented by entity instances, in the form of data / records.
