Reference Data Manager

The reference data manager offers a Web-based interface that can be used across departments and lines of business to build, store and manage relationships and hierarchies. This technology uses terms created in the business data network to link relationships across data elements, including parent-child, one-to-many or coded relationships. Hierarchy information can create a more complete view of the relationships between these business terms.
