Two of the most addressed data management topics on this blog is data matching and multidomain Master Data Management (MDM). In addition, I have also founded two LinkedIn Groups for people interested in one of or both topics.
The Data Matching Group has close to 2,000 members. In here we discus nerdy stuff as deduplication, identity resolution, deterministic matching using match codes, algorithms, pattern recognition, fuzzy logic, probabilistic learning, false negatives and false positives.

The Multi-Domain MDM Group has close to 2,500 members. In here we exchange knowledge on how to encompass more than a single master data domain in an MDM initiative. In that way the group also covers the evolution of MDM as the discipline – and solutions – has emerged from Customer Data Integration (CDI) and Product Information Management (PIM).

The result of combining data matching and multi-domain MDM is golden records. The golden records are the foundation of having a 360-degree / single view of parties, locations, products and assets as examined in The Disruptive MDM / PIM / DQM List blog post Golden Records in Multidomain MDM.
