Using the delivery service example above, the Warehouse Management system should get access to only a subset of the customer data for security reasons. And it shouldn't get any level of access to the Credit Card Processing system. This level of access is called scope. Data Governance is used to describe managing scope. Data Governance also defines where the Master Data is storeddata records are stored.

- Centralized: If the customer domain is centralized (i.e. stored in the YOUnite data store), the customer Data Record is also stored in YOUnite's data store and can be retrieved, in whole or in part, by the delivery service company's system applications that have appropriate access.
- Federated: If the customer domain is federated, then the customer Data Record is NOT stored in YOUnite's data store but is created in real-time by referencing customer domainproperties as they reside inside the various systems (i.e. the customer name, address, and phone number properties as stored in the Customer Service, Accounting, and CRM systems).
In the federated model, YOUnite MDM Master Data can data records can be stored in the YOUnite data store or in one or more systems connected to YOUnite. Many systems may hold similar data but generally the organization as a whole decides which system(s) hold the Master Data and subsequently the the data records. Note that with YOUnite's federated model, different groups inside of an organization can designate which system holds the master data.

MDM is the process of determining where the Master Data is stored (centralized or data records are stored (mdm data store or federated) and managing who (a person or a system) has read, write, update, and delete privileges to those systems.

Data records are the latest, most recent version of a record. They are stored in many systems connected to YOUnite, including the YOUnite data store. Master data is a process performed by the organization's data governance to establish which of these systems will be considered to contain the "record of truth" for a given data domain. It's not always necessary or appropriate for systems to access the organization's master data, as many data access requests are for data records that may or may not contain master data. However, one feature of YOUnite is the ability to propagate changes from a system that contains master data to records to others in the YOUnite eco-system on a permission-appropriate basis (i.e. scope).

- Data Integration (DI) The process of transforming and transferring data from one system to another.
- Adaptor Applications, modules, or some software or hardware component that transforms data from one format to another so that the data can be consumed by another system.
- Data Governance Managing data access, i.e. who accesses certain data sets based on role, application, etc. Defining where the Master Data is stored.
- Data Domain (Domain) A set of fields or properties that define a set of data (i.e. the "Customer" data is comprised of the name, address, and phone number properties).
- Master Data Management (MDM) An approach to reducing data redundancy across systems by maintaining a master file for critical data.
- Data Record The latest (most recent) version of a given record.
- Master Data (MD) The master or golden version of a record (for a customer, for example). The "record of truth."
- YOUnite Data Store Whereby the latest change to a record is saved inside of YOUnite (in the YOUnite MDM domain). From http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/articles/soa/ind-soa-mdm-2090170.html: MDM with a central database or central business applications (Centralized MDM).
- Federated MDM Whereby the latest change to a record is noted in one of the organization's systems without actually storing the data centrally in YOUnite (in the YOUnite MDM domain). From http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/articles/soa/ind-soa-mdm-2090170.html: MDM with distributed data and a central directory.data store).
- Scope The defined access limit to MDM data records for any given system, application, or role.
