# Master

How do I turn records into trusted golden records?
  Data stewards and data architects.

Mastering is where many records about the same real-world thing become one golden record. Deduplication finds the duplicates, merging resolves them, and the golden record keeps the full history and explanation of how every value was chosen.

For what a golden record *is*, see [Core concepts](https://documentation.cluedin.net/get-started/core-concepts.md). This section covers how to work with them.
