Data Registry

Data Registry - The master copy of the data associated with a business object. Several databases may share access to a common data registry to ensure consistency and eliminate redundant entries across multiple applications and databases. An example of a data registry would be a shared customer master. All updates and changes would be made to the customer master data registry and then propagated to subscribing sites. All systems requiring customer information would interface with the customer data registry.
