item master data element
Definition & meaning
An Artikelstammdatum is one individual piece of core information about a product or item in a business system, such as its description, product number, unit of measure, or weight. It is commonly used in retail, inventory management, and enterprise software.
The plural is Artikelstammdaten (), which usually refers collectively to a product’s master data.
Grammar & Word origin
Artikelstammdatum is a neuter noun: das Artikelstammdatum. It is formed from Artikel (, “product,” “item,” or “catalog entry”), Stamm (, “core” or “base”), and Datum (, here meaning “data item,” not a calendar date). Thus, the word literally means “a core data item for a product.”
Synonyms & antonyms

There is no direct antonym. In business data terminology, Bewegungsdaten ( are a useful contrast: they describe changing business events, such as sales or stock movements, rather than relatively stable product information.
