Abstract: Example embodiments for accessing data are described. In an example embodiment, a request is received for a data record including multiple data fields. Based on location information for each field from a metadata file, each field of a first portion of the multiple fields is retrieved from a local data store, with each of the fields of the first portion having a corresponding size less than a threshold size. Each retrieved field of the first portion may be presented to a user, along with a field indicator for at least one field of a second portion of the multiple fields, with each of the fields of the second portion having a corresponding size at least as large as the threshold size. In response to a selection of the field indicator, at least one field of the second portion may be retrieved and presented to the user.

Abstract: Example embodiments for augmenting master data schema are described. In an example embodiment, schema of master data to be employed by a plurality of applications are accessed. First additional information is added to the schema, wherein the first additional information is to be employed by each of the plurality of applications in accessing the master data. After the adding of the first additional information, second additional information is added to the schema, wherein the second additional information is to be employed by a first corresponding one of the plurality of applications in accessing the master data. In some example embodiments, third additional information is added to the schema, wherein the third additional information is to be employed by a second corresponding one of the plurality of applications in accessing the master data.

Abstract: Example embodiments for master data synchronization for multiple applications are described. In an example embodiment, master data to be employed by a plurality of applications, as well as schema for the master data, are accessed. One or more publication requests to store the master data and the schema of the master data to a master data store accessible by the plurality of applications are generated. The schema may be cached locally to one or more of the applications.
