Data Group Master
While in a typical system landscape of an organization, there is documentation of individual data entities at a system level (for example data Model documentation for ERP system) available. Most of this documentation is of IT interest (though the logical data model should be owned and specified by the business). As you set of data quality frame-work, one needs to identify the business owners and business custodians of data-groups. This is from the DQ practice principle that business needs to own the data.

    Overall Usage Guide

    Purpose of Data Group Master File:

    While in a typical system landscape of an organization, there is documentation of individual data entities at a system level (for example data Model documentation for ERP system) available. Most of this documentation is of IT interest (though the logical data model should be owned and specified by the business). As you set of data quality frame-work, one needs to identify the business owners and business custodians of data-groups. This is from the DQ practice principle that business needs to own the data.

    Data Group Master File is used to identify the ‘Business’ data-groups, which need to be managed as a logical group. These data groups will be typically having a single Data Custodian and Business Owner. Most of the Data Quality Gaps are assigned at a data-group level, so that one is able to have a more holistic view on the impact of data quality gaps. For example, if my customer-city is not correct, I will assign this gap to the customer data-group, instead of just to the customer-location data entity.

    Relevant FAQ:

    • Can we have one business owner owning multiple data groups?
    • Do we need to have all the customer data in a single Data Group?
    • Can we have more than one business owner for a data-group?
    • We don't have the capacity to map all the locations, where our sales channel data-group resides. This is due to many diverse field systems, with some of them not being owned by IT. The business owner is not ready to take the ownership of this data-group till we complete the mapping. What should we do?
    • Which are the top 5-8 data groups we should focus upon, to start with?

    Relevant TIPs:

    • Making a business owner accountable for a data-group
    • Do not make Data Steward a business owner for a cross-functional data-group.
