Thanks. The software application isn¹t called CDM - we defined a Common/Canonical Data Model (CDM) for the application and we¹ve grown the CDM over 3 years. We are at a point where we are trying to standardize further to include governance outside of our current project - because we have a producer/consumer relationship with other projects that leverage this CDM. Managing changes to the CDM now is critical. I am surprised that you don¹t have a governance model for your CDM, given the groups exchanging data. No further questions.
