UDEF

UDEF stands for Universal Data Element Framework

This is an open standard that aims to simplify interoperability between organisations.

UDEF transcends all data standards and helps one generate a controlled vocabulary for all back-office applications across the entire enterprise.

The Universal Data Element Framework (UDEF) is based on the ISO/IEC 11179 Metadata Registry Standard. The data naming approach leverages three key concepts of 11179, specifically Object Class, Property and Data Elements Concept.

UDEF Businesses Benefits

Cost savings to businesses

The more information you have, the harder it is to locate what you need. This drives up software delivery and implementation costs. Categorizing and managing the data is becoming the most time consuming cost element of software development.

Managing information sources can become easier

UDEF allows businesses to index information effectively. Using UDEF cross business interfaces to other enterprises becomes easier. With UDEF businesses can simply categorize and organize data in a standardized and consistent way, this leads to programming cost reduction.
