datasentralfeltet

Datasentralfeltet is a term used in data management to describe the central domain of data within an organization that functions as the canonical source for core business data. It represents the data hub that consolidates, harmonizes, and distributes master data to downstream systems and analytics. While not universally standardized, the concept is commonly used in discussions of data governance and enterprise data architecture in Nordic and European contexts.

Typical scope includes master data objects such as customers, products, suppliers, and locations; related metadata; data quality rules; lineage and provenance information; and governance controls. Implementations may take the form of a data hub, a core data layer within a data warehouse, or a dedicated master data management (MDM) solution that centralizes authoritative records.

Governance and operations: The datasentralfeltet is governed by a data governance function with owners or stewards responsible for data quality, privacy, security, and lifecycle management. It interfaces with source systems, data integration tools, and downstream applications to ensure consistent identifiers, attributes, and definitions across the enterprise.

Relation to other data concepts: It is related to, but distinct from, operational data stores and analytics datamarts. It can be part of wider data fabrics or data mesh architectures and supports the enterprise’s single source of truth for reporting, analytics, and decision making.

Terminology and usage: The label datasentralfeltet can vary in meaning by organization. Some use terms such as “master data hub” or “core data domain” to describe similar functionality. The concept emphasizes centralization, consistency, and governance of critical data assets.
