COMPOSITE VIEWS IN A MASTER DATA MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

Abstract:

A computer-implemented method includes determining, by a computer device, composite view rules for combining first data from a first data record and second data from a second data record to create a composite view of an entity in a master data management system; receiving, by the computer device, the first data; receiving, by the computer device, the second data; creating, by the computer device, the composite view from the first data and the second data based on the composite view rules; physically materializing the composite view on a storage device; preserving, by the computer device, the first data record; and preserving, by the computer device, the second data record.
