Describe in detail
Shown in Figure 1A, collaborative master data management (" cMDM ") system comprises central module 100 and one or more client module 110.Each client module 110 is linked to central module 100.
Master data can be stored in the client module 110, be stored in the central module 100 or in the two according to implementation.Central module 100 makes the master data of being used by each client computer 110 can comprise the master data of being shared by All Clients 110.Traditionally, client module 110 will direct communication each other in the structure of point-to-point.For example, make module except that with other module shared data, may need and e-procurement module, electronic marketing module, collaborative engineering module are shared master data.In traditional system, making module will receive data or send data to it from suitable module, if this send data with the module of sharing in new data then can cause inconsistent in data or use stale data more not.In reference Figure 1A and the described system of 1B, come management data by central module 100.Central module 100 guarantees the consistent master data and the distribution of master data.
Shown in Figure 1B, the cMDM system can be implemented and be used at a plurality of entities 120,130.Central module 100 can be the part of primary entity 120.Client module 110 can be the part of primary entity 120 or the part of external entity 130.For example, primary entity 120 can comprise enterprise, and described enterprise comprises client module 110, is used for ERP, tradition, e-procurement and electronic marketing.Primary entity can be divided into unit 140, and wherein each unit can comprise one or more client computer 110.External entity 130 can comprise: contractor comprises the client computer 110 that is used to make; Provider comprises the client computer 110 that is used for collaborative engineering and seeks the source.
In another example, primary entity 120 can comprise customer service entities, and external entity 130 can comprise enterprise.Can merge the customer information that can be dispersed in usually on a plurality of client module 110 by central module 100.
Can use the master data of central management to be used for handling, such as intersection group report, be used to merge and data integration, the diversity that reduces element purchase, support product maintenance, simplify customer account management and support catalogue, such as for being compressed to the more dealer of smallest number by merging directory content and buying behavior being bundled.The cMDM system also can support Version Control (versioning) and change management.When creating version or changing, can manage the data of version or the data of variation by central module 100, as described below.
Data can be carried out the foundation of cMDM system by before exchange between cMDM system and the client module 110.Stipulate identity property at the master data object, and set up the rule that is used to mate.The rule that is used to mate and the foundation of attribute can be carried out at the entity that uses cMDM, perhaps carry out at general object-oriented requirements.The matching treatment process of carrying out at the master data object that receives from client module can be used to manage the master data object.
The regulation attribute can comprise: coupling is from the different objects of different clients' application or different client module 110.The regulation attribute can comprise that also the element of the structure of will be mated is linked at together, so that the master data object that can relatively receive from different clients.
The attribute of defined also can be by classification (ranked) during setting up.Can be during matching treatment the classification of use attribute, identical to determine whether two master data objects.Like this, if between two objects, the higher attribute of grade does not match, and is big when then two object is inequality or similarly possibility does not match than the lower attribute of tabulation middle grade.
As described with reference to figs. 2 to Fig. 7, the cMDM system can be implemented in 3 kinds of different sights at least.These sights can be implemented individually, are perhaps imported by the mode with evolution: merge sight with content and begin, go forward side by side and become owner of the data consistent sight, or enter into the central data management sight from master data unification sight.Different sights can also be used together.For example, central master data management can be used to some object type, and the master data unification is used to remain type.To discuss the mixing of these sights below in more detail.
Content merges
Fig. 2 illustrates the block scheme that the content that is used for the cMDM system merges sight.Central module 100 can comprise load-on module 210, go up on the stage (staging) module 220, matching module 230 and ID mapping block 240.Can handled use in 250 from what the flow process of carrying out produced by merge content central module 100, handle 250 and for example be business diagnosis (for example, overall situation cost analysis), or the establishment of central directory (for example, supplier products catalogue).
At load-on module 210, the master data object is received in the central module 100.The master data object is used maintained in form being downloaded in the central module 100 in (client module 110) with them in its this locality.In the module 220 of going up on the stage, the user at central module 100 places can determine whether the master data object is correctly loaded.For example, the user can check the content of the master data object that loads in the load-on module 210, is correct with the content of guaranteeing the master data object.In the module 220 of going up on the stage, the master data object can be cleaned, so that the content standardization of master data object.For example, if the standard format in abbreviation New York (New York) is " NY ", and one of master data object of input has the abbreviation of picture " N.Y ", and then by removing the fullstop between " N " and " Y ", the content of the master data object of input can be changed and be " NY ".Data purification can also comprise removes mistake and inconsistent, so that data are more accurate.
The module of going up on the stage 220 also can be used as the middle storage of the master data object that is received that is used for the master data client.When can use during respectively with respect to matching module 230 and mapping block 240 described couplings and mapping routine below handling described in the middle of storage.Storage in the middle of before uploading the master data object, during independent user is mutual, also can using.
In the module 220 of going up on the stage, can also finish matching treatment.The master data object is forwarded to matching module 230.If matching module 230 does not automatically mate the master data object according to the attribute that is identified, then the master data object can be returned to the module of going up on the stage, and is used for manually determining whether the master data object mates.
At matching module 230, can be at being carried out matching treatment, to identify identical or the similar data object by on the master data of uploading.Identical data object is a master data object semantically identical and that received from different client module 110.Identical data object can have two different object IDs.The data object that duplicates is in the same system, for example in the client module 110, and semantically identical master data object.Possible copy is automatically discerned and is reported.Can from client, remove the data object that one or more duplicates.
Matching treatment comprises the similarity between the identification master data object.Matching treatment can comprise: the attribute of identified data object and attribute compared.The attribute that is compared can be included in the entity scope the effective attribute of master data object type, so that identical and similar data object can be identified, although the content of attribute may be different between system and system.Like this, different data layouts can be retained in the different systems with structure.
If in certain scope, then the result of matching treatment can be considered to unsettled in the amount of mating between two master data objects.For example, if two master data object coupling 50-80%, then the result of matching treatment can be considered to unsettled.For example, if the master data that will be mated to as if business partner, and, four and another business partner master data object coupling in five attributes, then Pi Pei amount will be 80%.Like this, two objects problem of whether mating can be considered to unsettled.The master data object can be returned to the module of going up on the stage, and determines manually for the user whether this master data object mates with another master data object.
Mapping block 240 receives the result of matching treatment from matching module 230.At mapping block 240, similar or identical object can be shone upon each other.For example, the object identity of an object (identification, " ID ") can be mapped to the object ID of similar or same object.When each time the data object being made a change, can upgrade map information.According to the rule of setting up during setting up at master data management system, mapping can automatically be carried out.Mapping can be stored in the mapping table.According to the change that the master data object is made, map information can change.For example, if being changed, " N.Y " among the master data object A be " NY ", the master data object that then is not mapped to master data object A can be considered to identical with master data object A now, and the master data object that is mapped to master data object A is changed needs.Like this, by map information and make map information can be used to map information is upgraded to client module 110, change can be managed.Similarly, when the redaction that constitutes one group of data object is defined, map information and can be used to manage this version to the renewal of map information.
Map information can be provided for processing module 250.Processing module 250 can comprise data warehouse, and for example the business information warehouse is used for the report in the system scope.The processing of carrying out in processing module 250 can comprise analysis and the report that generates in central directory or the company's scope, and for example overall situation cost is analyzed or annexed and purchase.
Fig. 3 is the process flow diagram that the method that is used for pooled data is shown.Data are received central module 100 (step 310) from one or more client module 110.If the content disunity of the center system in data content that receives and the central module 100, the data that then receive can be cleaned.
In center system, the data object is carried out the matching treatment process, to determine in the center system whether identical or similar object (step 320) being arranged.Matching treatment can comprise the identity property of comparison other.Matching treatment can also comprise the sign copy.If find two or more to as if the object that duplicates, then can avoid one or more object that duplicates input central module.The master data object that duplicates can be transferred to the module 220 of going up on the stage, and there, one of master data object that duplicates is removed from central module 100.CMDM can also support to remove one or more master data object that duplicates from system, has received the master data object that duplicates from this system.
If found identical or similar object, then central module can be carried out mapping and handle (step 330).The object ID of same object can be shone upon each other, and the object ID of similar object can be shone upon each other.Object map information can be provided for treatment scheme (step 340).As discussed above, map information is offered treatment scheme can be comprised: map information is offered data warehouse, and for example the business information warehouse is used for analysis and report use in system scope.Map information can also be provided for client module 110.
The master data unification
Fig. 4 is the block scheme that second sight of cMDM is shown.Second sight comprises the enforcement of master data unification.Merge enforcement by the master data storage being added to content, can implement this sight.The maintenance that this sight can be used to enable the global property of master data distributes with consistent.The unification content that produces from the processing of carrying out central module 100 can be distributed to client module 110 and processing module 240, is used for using in for example business partner management, the center fed of merchandising, the definition of non-units of variance and the application of management.
At central module 100, central generation module 410, perhaps in client module 110, can generate the master data object.The master data object that generates in client module 110 is being gone up on the stage to be received in the module 420.Mapping between the part of master data object and the master data object can be stored in the central module 100.The stored part of master data object can comprise the global property of master data object.
The master data object that generates in central generation module 410 can be generated as the global property that only comprises the master data object.Global property can comprise identity property.Safeguard that for each object type which attribute can depend on information requirement and system configuration.Framework can be added to cMDM with the expansion object model, and not in local system, carrying out any modification with the software that generates the master data object.Framework can be handled new problem and new field (field).For example, object factory (data model of object) can controlledly be suitable for central example.For example, field can exist in the data model of a system, and does not exist in the data model of another system.Framework can also support to upgrade the user interface of the client machine system that receives the master data object with different attribute fields.After object distribution, discuss as following, in client module 100, extra property value is provided can for the object that is distributed.
Can use this locality of client computer 110 should be used for being created in the local master data object of creating.Client module 110 can be the master data object distribution of creating in this locality to the module 420 of going up on the stage.In client module 110, create before the master data object, can carry out the cross system search it.If there is no similar master data object is then created this master data object.If there is similar master data object, then central module 100 makes this similar master data object can use the user at client module 110 places.For example, central module 100 can pass through server, makes this similar master data object can use the user at client module 110 places.Like this, this similar master data object can be transferred to the server in the central module 100, and is sent to the client machine system at client module 110 places subsequently.
The user can subscribe to this similar master data object, and map information can be updated, to comprise new local system.If do not find similar object, then after creating this data object, the master data object that is created can be sent to another goal systems.
Can carry out continuous matching in coupling and mapping block 430 handles.For example, can carry out mapping in response to the request of creating the master data object in the central creation module 410.Continuous matching is handled and can be used to identify identical and the similar data object.Identical and similar data object can be shone upon each other, as described above.
Can avoid in local system, creating the object that duplicates by matching treatment identified.For example, if local system is new business partner request master data object, then the user at central module 100 places can check whether there has been this business partner master data object in central module 100.If there is this business partner master data object in central module, then this master data object can be distributed to the client machine system of this new master data object of request.If the user finds existing business partner master data object and Already in the goal systems, has then avoided creating the master data object that duplicates.Map information can be provided for processing module 240, is used for for example processing of the analysis of enterprise-wide.
The global property of master data object comprises map information, can be distributed to each client module 110 by distribution module 440.Like this, after distribution, identical global property is provided for all systems, and business processing can be handled safely.Logically belonging to identical object can be changed and be distributed together.For example, when master data comprises the master data that is used for a product, belong to the object of this product, for example product structure and document can be collected in the packets of information together, then, in a context, are distributed to recipient's client module 110.Packets of information can comprise one group of independent object, the object in product structure for example, and these objects are by by comprising dependent relational links.Can be according to the information requirements acquisition of information bag of recipient's client module 110, and packets of information can be by with certain sequential transfer.
For example, if BOM has changed, the system of regulation perhaps will be distributed to rule that the mapping of the system of goal systems and some regulation is associated and can indicate the product master data of material must before BOM, be transferred to the system of regulation, so that can discern the product IDs of material.Like this, can be so that the ordering of the object that will distribute meets the semanteme and the requirement of goal systems.
Can respond request, be created in the master data of creating in the central module 100 from client module 110.For example, use the service-user of client machine system at client module 110 places, can fill in new product primary data request table, and this table is sent to the user at the center system place in the central module 100.Table can be verified, and is correctly filled in the assurance table.For example, can perhaps can check linear module at check table semantically, to guarantee to have used correct unit.User at the center system place can see and receive request.Then, whether the subscriber checking at the center system place has copy, finishes given information, then, creates and distribution new product master data.
Fig. 5 A and Fig. 5 B are the process flow diagrams that the method that is used for the master data unification is shown.With reference to Figure 1A, 1B, Fig. 4 and Fig. 5 A, the master data unification can comprise: create the master data object in central module 100 and client module 110.(step 510)
In the master data unification, can create the master data object with three kinds of modes.The master data object can directly be created in central module 100, perhaps, can respond the request from client module 110, creates new master data object in central module 100.The master data object can also be created in this locality in client computer 110, and is transferred to the module 420 of going up on the stage.The local master data object of creating can be uploaded to central module 100 in client module 110.
The object of creating can be stored in the central module 100.Be stored in master data object in the central module 100 and can comprise the global property of master data object.
On stored master data object, can carry out continuous matching and handle.(step 520) continuous matching is handled and can be used to identify that duplicate, identical and similar data object.Can remove the duplicate object that finds, and the object ID of identical and similar object can be mapped.
Comprise the global property of master data object and the master data object information of map information, can be distributed to client module 110 (step 530).The master data information of the master data object that receives in client machine system can be finished in client module 110.(step 540)
Fig. 5 B shows the method for master data unification, and wherein, master data is created in this locality, as discussed above.The master data object is created in this locality.(step 550).The master data object of creating in this locality is done goes up on the stage to handle.(step 560).
Central authorities' master data management
Fig. 6 is the block scheme that the central master data management enforcement of cMDM system is shown.In central master data management sight, master data is controlled in central module fully.In this implemented, all master data information was concentrated and is resided in the central module 100.This enforcement can be used to the application in for example central product data pond, and central product data pond provides product data to a plurality of positions that are used to produce, assemble, sell and distribute.
In central creation module 610, can create the master data object.The master data object that is created can comprise complete object information, and object information comprises complete object definition, object map information and object dependence.The master data object can be created from the request of client module 110 by response.Can respond this request and carry out matching treatment, and map information can be included in the data object information, data object information is stored in the central module 100.If in central module 100, there is identical object, then can notice request client module 110 have identical object, and new master data object is not created or is mapped to existing object.Map information can be updated.
At distribution module 620, by the master data information of centralized maintenance can by they in client module 110, define like that, be used as independent object distribution.Object can be distributed by the form with packets of information.Belonging to identical object can be changed or be distributed together.If master data comprises the product model master data, then belong to identical object, for example (bill of materials, bills of material BOM) and document, are collected in together in the consistent packets of information, and are distributed together for product, BOM.Can be according to the information requirements intelligence-collecting object of recipient's client module 110.For example, particular figure intelligence-collecting object that can reference product.View can comprise the product association attributes, for example buys the date.Like this, a group objects can be linked according to purposes or position.For example, sell the interior perhaps attribute that view can comprise object relevant with sales department or that used by sales department.
As discussed above, these sights can be used together.For example, central master data management can be used to business partner master data object, wherein, safeguards all business partner master data object information in central module 100.Central module 100 can only be stored global property for remaining data object, and remaining data object for example is a product master data object.
Fig. 7 is the processing figure that the method that is used for central master data management is shown.Central authorities' master data management is handled and can be carried out in homogeneous environment.With reference to Figure 1A, Figure 1B and Fig. 6, in central module 100, created at least one data object (step 710).Central module 100 can comprise the center system that is used for the cMDM system.Central module 100 can be stored complete data object information, and this data object information can be distributed to client module 110.Like this, the data object that is created can comprise complete object information, the map information that object information comprises complete object definition, data object is shone upon each other, and to the dependence of other objects.
Can respond the request of reception, create data object from the establishment data object of client module 110.For the request of determining whether to exist in the center system similar or identical data object, can carry out matching treatment.If found similar or identical data object, then identical data object will be distributed to and send request system, and the object that is distributed will automatically be shone upon.
Data object from center system can be distributed to one or more client module 110 (step 720).The distributed data object can comprise data object is distributed to client module 110.Data object can be distributed by the form with packets of information.Can in central module 100, define packets of information according to the demand information that receives from recipient's client module 110.
The method of central authorities' master data management can also comprise that execution to the change of data object with according to the change that receives, updates stored in the data object in the central module 100.The data object that is updated can be distributed to client module 110.
Master data management system
Fig. 8 is the block scheme that the simplified structure of central module 100 is shown.Central module 100 can comprise exchange foundation structure (exchange infrastructure, " XI ") 810, content integrator (contentintegrator, " CI ") 820 and master data server (master data server, " MDS ") 830.XI 810 can be used to communicate between client module 110 and central module 100.
In XI 810, receive the master data that will be distributed.Can carry out distribution in three kinds of different modes, comprise based on the distribution of subscribing to, the historical distribution and content-based distribution.Which system Route Selection model (not shown) is stored about the master data information of interest.Then, master data is sent to relevant system from XI 810.Can use queuing to guarantee message transmission through the unanimity of XI 810.Message can be by (XML) form sends between system for extend markup language, extensible markup language with XML.
By giving each object definition identity property, CI 820 can make from the master data of different system relevant.Identity property is fed to CI 820 by the different system from client module 110, and according to predefined rule scanning similarity.CI 820 is the object conservation object ID in the system configuration, and no matter which system they belong to, or they are arranged by which data model.The master data object that is stored in the client module 110 is retained in defined sign in each client machine system, each client machine system storage master data object.CI 820 knows that each example relates to some other object (use mapping function) in the system.Like this, CI 820 has carried out matching treatment and to the preparation of final ID mapping.
