An Inductive and Semantic Model of Constraints for Master Data Management under Cloud Computing

Abstract

Master Data Management (MDM) has been evaluated under the contexts of Enterprise Architecture (EA), Semantic Web, Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) and Business Process Integration (BPI). However, there have been very few studies on operations of MDM under a Cloud Computing environment. Accordingly, we have analyzed the operational issues caused by migrating the MDM operations into the Cloud Computing environment, in particular into Software as a Service. Furthermore, we have pointed out the insufficient policy of the security framework in regards to the disclosure, and also pointed out the necessity to define a constraints model for security policy that is available in designing the operations of MDM among multiple SaaS/ASP and BPaaS providers. In this paper, we define a more precise constraints model by applying the first order predicate logic and inductive approach. Furthermore, we give explanatory description about the contexts of this formularization.
