Semantic Binding to Glossary-Based Ontology

Important Disclaimer: Some of the features detailed in this document may not apply and/or be available for the particular edition/version you are using.

Ontology Modeling is a new modeling feature based on Glossary modeling. It manages business meaning and delivers context to Semantic Models in Semantic Hub. Organizations can define business entities, relationships, and hierarchies as a governed ontology model, then bind the ontology model to the physical tables, columns, and metrics that implement it in the shared metadata repository.

Highlights

• Ontology Model - Define entities, relationships, and hierarchies in the new custom model type.
• Semantic Mapping & Binding - Link business vocabulary terms to the semantic model and physical assets for end-to-end lineage.
• AI-Generated Data Documentation - Add descriptions to tables in a semantic model using your preferred LLM provider, including Anthropic, Google, Ollama, OpenAI, and Azure OpenAI, which compile into the native artifacts.
• Ontology Forward-Engineering - Define semantic links from business vocabulary terms to the semantic model metrics that implement them (Text-to-SQL).

Use cases

• AI Context & Governance
• Audit & Compliance
