Composite views in a master data management system

A computer program product, the computer program product comprising a computer readable storage medium having program instructions embodied therewith, the program instructions executable by a computing device to cause the computing device to:

• determine composite view rules for combining first data from a first data record and second data from a second data record to create a composite view of an entity in a master data management system;
• receive the first data;
• receive the second data;
• create a reconciled version of a data record by reconciling a portion of the first data and a conflicting portion of the second data;
• create the composite view from the first data and the second data based on the composite view rules, the composite view including the reconciled version of the data record;
• and
• persist the composite view on a storage device.

A system comprising:

• a processor, a computer readable memory, and a computer readable storage medium;
• program instructions to determine composite view rules for combining first data from a first data record and second data from a second data record to create a composite view in a master data management system;
• program instructions to receive the first data;
• program instructions to receive the second data;
• program instructions to create a reconciled version of one of a selected attribute or data record based on survivorship rules by reconciling a portion of the first data and a conflicting portion of the second data;
• program instructions to create the composite view from the first data and the second data based on the composite view rules, the composite view including the reconciled version of the selected attribute or the selected data record;
• and
• program instructions to persist the composite view on a storage device,
• wherein the program instructions are stored on the computer readable storage medium for execution by the processor via the computer readable memory.
