- at the interface of master data management systems, not within the systems.

The master data quality series of parts of ISO 8000 contains requirements that can be checked by computer for the exchange, between organizations and systems, of master data that consists of characteristic data. These parts address the quality of property values that are exchanged within master data messages.

This part of ISO 8000 describes fundamentals of master data quality and specifies requirements on both data and organizations to enable master data quality.
