Tag: semantic layer

This is useful because the semantic layer keeps coming back under different names: metrics layer, business logic layer, AI query interface, governed data contract. The link is worth keeping as a modern learning journal rather than a vendor pitch.

The caveat is that semantic layers can become governance theater if the organization does not agree on metric ownership. The product question is still who gets to define meaning and how that meaning survives tooling changes.

This is a good counterweight to traditional semantic-layer thinking because it asks whether AI-assisted query discovery changes where modeling work belongs. It fits the site because the interesting part is not the tool category, it is the boundary between governed meaning and flexible exploration.

I would read it with skepticism and curiosity. AI can reduce the friction of asking questions, but it does not magically settle definitions, metric ownership, or trust.
