I would like to ask if there is an officially accepted way of denoting if a data object in ARIS is master data. By master data I mean key business data that is used by different user groups and applications and is maintained centrally in a database from which these applications retrieve it. For example - data about company employees can be used by different information systems like HRM, CRM, DMS and perhaps MS Project or similar. Only one of the systems (HRM) must be regarded as the keeper of the master data about the employees. All other systems must turn to the HR system for up to date information in order to avoid data redundancy and contradictions.

When we model data in ARIS business process and other models, what is the accepted way of denoting if the piece of data about an employee is the master data?
