1. A method of sharing data, comprising:
- receiving data in a central system from one or more client systems;
performing a matching process on objects of data in the central system to determine if there are similar objects in the central system;
mapping object identifications of similar objects to each other if there are similar objects in the central module; and
providing the object mapping information to a process.

Abstract
Methods and apparatus, including computer program products, for sharing data. The technique includes receiving data in a central system from one or more client systems, performing a matching process on objects of data in the central system to determine if there are similar objects in the central system, mapping object identifications of similar objects to each other if there are similar objects in the central module, and providing the object mapping information to a process.

16. A system for sharing data, comprising:
-
one or more client systems storing master data for use in processes performed in the client systems; and
a central module configured to receive master data in a central system from the one or more client systems, perform a matching process on objects of the master data in the central system to determine if there are identical or similar objects in the central system, map object identifications of identical objects to each other if there are identical objects in the central module, map object identifications of similar objects to each other if there are similar objects in the central module, and provide the object mapping information to a process. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19)

20. A computer program product, tangibly stored on a computer-readable medium, the computer program product comprising instructions operable to cause a programmable processor to:
-
receive data in a central system from one or more client systems;
perform a matching process on objects of data in the central system to determine if there are similar objects in the central system;
map object identifications of similar objects to each other if there are similar objects in the central module; and
providing the object mapping information to a process. - View Dependent Claims (21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34)
