A new buzzword seems to have crept up on me when I wasn't looking -- I'm seeing a lot about "master data management" (http:// en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Master_Data_Management) as somehow a different (or more specialized?) discipline than plain 'ole "data management".

A new buzzword seems to have crept up on me when I wasn't looking -- I'm seeing a lot about "master data management" (http:// en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Master_Data_Management) as somehow a different (or more specialized?) discipline than plain 'ole "data management".
Can anyone shed light on this through their own experience? Is it important to treat "master data" as a viable specialization of data in general?
My initial reaction is that this is some market-speak that's escaped into the wild from somewhere (probably the business intelligence/data warehouse camp), but I'm open to being persuaded otherwise.
