Why each option
In Master Data Management (MDM), standardizing data field names is the foundational first step to ensure consistency across disparate data sources.
Creation of a data dictionary typically happens after initial standardization, as it defines the standardized fields.
Compliance with regulations is an ongoing concern throughout MDM, not a primary first process.
Before consolidating data or creating a data dictionary, ensuring that field names are consistent across all source systems allows for easier mapping and integration. This step addresses syntactic consistency, which is crucial for subsequent MDM processes.
Consolidation of multiple data fields is a later step, performed after fields have been standardized and mapped.
