    • Master data represents the business objects which are agreed on and shared across the enterprise. [1] It can cover relatively static reference data, transactional, unstructured, analytical, hierarchical and meta data. [2] It is the primary focus of the Information Technology (IT) discipline of Master Data Management (MDM).

      While master data is often non-transactional in nature, it is not limited to non-transactional data, and often supports transactional processes and operations. For example, Master data may be about: customers, products, employees, materials, suppliers, and vendors, and it may also cover: sales, documents and aggregated sales.
