Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2
If you purchased the SQL Server 2008 R2 Master Data Services book, all of the files you'll need are contained in this zip file. Also included is a readme file that tells you how and when to use these files. 
You should try to follow some of the guidance given here, but feel free to create your own model objects and load your own data. You can always delete things if you realize you were pursuing the wrong path. MDS is flexible and you should play with it until you feel comfortable. If I had a nickel for every time I've deleted my models and started over, I might have upwards of 3 dollars by now.

The model deployment process has also changed a lot. See http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff486956(v=sql.110).aspx.
