You've hit the nail on the head here. Long term we want to bridge the gap between the data team and rest of the organization through a central repository of data knowledge. Using MDM's terms the data team = IT, the rest of the organization = business, and repository of data knowledge = master data. So it's almost a one-to-one comparison, and we've never heard of MDM so this is great! We are also trying to make the experience lightweight and user friendly so that everyone is interested in exploring their company's data.
