What is ISO 8000-110?
ISO 8000 is the global standard for Data Quality and Enterprise Master Data. It describes the features and defines the requirements for standard exchange of Master Data among business partners. It establishes the concept of Portability as a requirement for Enterprise Master Data, and the concept that true Enterprise Master Data is unique to each organization.
To ensure an effective exchange of master data between organizations and systems, the reqirements include:
- formal syntax
- semantic encoding
- conformance to data specifications
- access to the data dictionaries that enable decoding of master data messages
ISO 8000-110 focuses on high quality data management. This standard ensures that organizations can create, store and transfer data effectively, minimizing data duplication and increasing reliability. By addressing data quality from the smallest elements, ISO 8000-110 ensures that your data is reliable and tailored to the specific requirements of different business functions.
