The DAMA Dictionary defines master data as “the data that provides the context for business activity data in the form of common and abstract concepts related to this activity. It includes the details (definitions and identifiers) of internal and external objects involved in business transactions, such as customers, products, employees, vendors, and controlled domains (code values.)”

DAMA-DMBoK2 separates master and reference data. However, in practice, I’ve seen situations where professionals combine these two data types because distinguishing them is challenging.

In my practice, I have also experienced some other challenges. Sometimes, the same data (e.g., contract) can be identified as master or transactional, depending on an organization’s business model. I also can’t understand the difference between master data and other data management. The data management techniques and required capabilities are the same as applied to any data type. Of course, the outcomes, like data architecture, may differ.
