Abstract

A method, apparatus, and computer program product for processing data is disclosed. In one aspect of the invention, a computer implemented method comprises receiving, on one or more computers, a record having one or more attributes from a source system. The method also comprises measuring, on one or more computers, a data accuracy of the received record as compared to a golden record stored in a master data management system. One or more remediation actions are performed, on one or more computers, to enforce improvements to the measured data accuracy of the received record in the source system. In one or more embodiments, measurement of data accuracy comprises calculating, on one or more computers, an accuracy score defined by a closeness of the received record to the golden record.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A computer-implemented method for processing data, comprising:
receiving, on one or more computers, a record having one or more attributes from a source system;
measuring, on one or more computers, a data accuracy of the received record as compared to a golden record stored in a master data management system, wherein measuring the data accuracy of the received record comprises calculating an accuracy score defined by a closeness of the received record to t…
