data set
A collection of data.
In Data Governance and Catalog, the business representation of one or more data assets from your source systems. For example, if your organization stores employee records in a database table called 'Employees,' you can create an "Employees" data set within the "HR" system in Data Governance. You can create a data set out of several related data assets, so that you can enrich them with business or governance context.
Used by all services.
data subset
A subset of production data that is small, targeted, and referentially intact. You can run a masking task to create a data subset. The masking task maintains primary and foreign key relationships in the subset data and reconciles the object relationships in the subset data.

database ingestion and replication task
A task that propagates data from source objects in a database management system (DBMS) to targets. The task can transfer a point-in-time snapshot of all source data in a schema to a target. The task can also incrementally propagate only the rows that contain data changes on a continuous basis.

deduplicate asset
An asset that measures the degrees of similarity between the records in a data set in order to find duplicate records. Optionally, consolidates duplicate records into a single, preferred version of the record.
The asset logic is optimized for identity data. An identity is a group of data values in a record that identify a person or an organization.

dependent reference data set
A reference data set that depends on code values in another reference data set. Code lists inherit the dependency from the reference data set. For example, the CRM State Code List depends on the CRM Countries Code List.
Used by Reference 360.
dictionary
A reference data set that you can use to evaluate the usefulness or accuracy of the values in a data column.
A dictionary might contain a single column that represents the standard or required versions of a set of data values. When a dictionary contains two or more columns, one column contains the standard or preferred values and the additional columns contain alternative versions of the values.
Used by Data Quality.
dictionary file
A flat file containing data that substitution masking rules use to mask source data. A masking task that contains the substitution masking rule performs a lookup on the specified dictionary. It replaces source data with data from the dictionary to mask the data.

domain
A data category that is managed at the enterprise level to support semantic consistency across an organization.
In Master Data Management, data is categorized into master data domains that are critical to an organization. Common master data domains include Customer, Supplier, Partner, Location, Product, Asset, Finance, and General Ledger Account.
In Data Governance and Catalog, a domain is a collection of concepts and activities grouped logically by business functions or requirements. A domain is a term in the root category, and it may contain hierarchical terms. For example, "finance" is a domain, under which there can be hierarchical terms such as "retail finance", "corporate finance", and "investment banking".
