Answer 2

Sumanta,

I am not aware of any best practice document.  Master Data Management is more about the business and supporting processes than it is about the technology.  MDS does a decent job of supporting those business processes, however you have decided them to be.  You're best bet may be to research MDM in general (irregardless of technology) and then tailor your MDS environment to support those practices.
