Guideline 46. Architectures for master data systems

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on

The institution defines architectures for the master data system, the master data governance system and the master data management system.

These three information systems should be adequately defined and conveniently integrated into the institutional architecture in order to better support the master data operations through the master data life cycle. This implies designing adequate architectural styles for the master data systems and the management information system in order to leverage maximum value for the institution’s master data.

ICT_06100
Mechanism
Mechanism
  • The Master Data Governance Committee should specify requirements for the architecture of the master data governance system.
  • The Master Data Stewardship Council should specify requirements for the architecture of the master data management system.
  • The Master Data Stewardship Council should specify requirements for the architecture of the master data system.
  • The ICT unit, with the assistance of ICT architects, should specify the architecture for the master data system in order to achieve the goal of an institutional master data system providing validated core social security data to the whole institution. Among others, the following aspects should be taken into account:
    • The architecture should follow a design based on SOA (Service Oriented Architecture) and cover the Metadata in addition to the master data model;
    • The architecture should support transactional CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) operations as well as provide information for decision-support systems (e.g. Data Warehouse and Business Intelligence);
    • The architecture should be integrated into the institutional one, establishing interactions with the other business applications in the institution;
    • The architecture may combine styles such as registry, repository, local distribution, remote distribution, etc., possibly involving external institutions;
    • The architecture should follow a service-oriented approach;
    • The architecture may support master data exchange with external institutions.
Structure
Structure
  • The Master Data Governance Committee should appoint the Master Data Stewardship Council and the ICT unit to specify the architectures for the master data system, the master data governance system, and the master data management system.
  • The Master Data Stewardship Council should specify requirements for architectures of the master data, the master data governance and the master data management information systems in order to achieve their goals.
  • The ICT unit should ensure that the three information systems will be adequately integrated into the institutional ICT infrastructure covering all aspects, such as security, performance, quality, etc.
  • The Master Data Management Committee may use the principles introduced in ISO 2000, ISO 8000, parts 100–140, and DAMA to design the exchange-oriented master data system architecture.
  • The architecture for the master data-related systems should be based on the institutional architectures as well as the recommendations of the current set of Guidelines, particularly Section A.2, ICT Management, and Part B, Key Technologies.
