Corporate data repository
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A Corporate Data Repository (CDR) is a corporate database or information system used to integrate the information system resouces of an organisation by sharing a common data model.
A CDR needs to hold at least the following information:
- The people of the organisation - staff, customers, visitors
- The roles played by the people of the organisation
- The units and structure of the organisation
- The organisation to which each person belongs.
Additional information might include:
- The projects on which people work
- The services offered by the organisation
- The authorisation of each person.
Typically, a CDR might be used to provide corporate services such as user authentication and authorisation through a SSO mechanism on the Web.
An recent example of a CDR is the one developed at CCLRC. This is a temporal database based on the CERIF standard and Codd's RM/T.
