3. To promote canonical view of data to increase reusability of services across enterprise.
4. To promote consistent view of data across enterprise.
5. To move towards enterprise wide standards and compliance.
6. To reduce work load on application developers by leveraging data services.
7. To promote enterprise wide vocabulary and consistent semantics.
8. To promote consistent data type irrespective of data source (RDBMS, Hierarchical, NOSQL, etc).
9. To promote consistent quality of data.
10. To promote Master Data Management.
