the consistency report identifies a conflict within the one or more data records, or
a duplication report, wherein
the duplication report identifies duplicate data records within the one or more data records.
9. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
displaying a summary of a set of data records, wherein
the master data comprises the set of data records;
selecting at least one data record from the summary of the set of data records; and
displaying data record details for the at least one data record.
10. The method of claim 9 , wherein the data record details comprise one or more of:
data fields for the at least one data record,
a listing of the processes executed on the at least one data record, and
a processing status indicator for the at least one data record.
11. The method of claim 10 , wherein
the data record details indicate record and attribute changes made to the at least one data record within a selected time period.
12. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
selecting a data source from a plurality of data sources;
displaying a summary of the data records received from the data source;
selecting a set of data records from the summary of the data records; and
displaying data record details corresponding to the set of data records.
13. The method of claim 12 , wherein the data record details comprise at least one of
data fields for the set of data records,
a listing of the processes executed on the set of data records, or
a processing status indicator for the set of data records.
14. The method of claim 1 , wherein the storing further comprises:
storing the one or more data records as a part of the set of master data.
15. A computer program product comprising:
a plurality of instructions, configured to implement a master data management (MDM) module, comprising
a set of instructions, executable on a computer system, configured to receive one or more data records, wherein
the one or more data records are received at the MDM module from one or more data sources, and
a set of instructions, executable on the computer system, configured to include the one or more data records in a set of master data, wherein the set of master data is stored in an MDM hub of the MDM module, and the second set of instructions comprises
a subset of instructions, executable on the computer system, configured to store the one or more data records in the MDM hub, wherein
the subset of instructions are comprised in an MDM application of the MDM module, and
a subset of instructions, executable on the computer system, configured to perform one or more data quality functions, wherein
the subset of instructions comprised in a data governance manager of the MDM module, wherein at least one data quality function involves monitoring the data quality of the master data an performing one or more data correction operations for correcting at least one erroneous data record in the master data;
a subset of instructions, executable on the computer system, configured to determine data quality information for the one or more data records, the data quality information indicating at least one or more data records that have been successfully consolidated for the set of master data, one or more data records that have not been successfully consolidated for the set of master data, and one or more data records that are pending consolidation for the set of master data;
