The goal of the EDM Councils Semantics Repository is to standardize the terms and definitions of all reference data attributes stored in the master files of financial institutions and passed among supply chain partners. Precise nomenclature translates into a common language between systems and sources, reduces the cost of doing business, and promotes confidence in data among business users. It is at the foundation of effective data management and an essential building block for business process automation.
