Semantic Catalog

Create and manage semantic layers so teams share the same definitions and reuse logic over time.

Shipped: layers and publishing workflow
  • Create semantic layers per connection with a namespace (e.g., finance.revenue).
  • Work with drafts and versions.
  • Publish changes with explicit modes (view/edit/publish).

What data leaders get out of it
Consistency
  • Shared definitions reduce dashboard drift.
  • Metrics become reusable building blocks, not one-off SQL snippets.
  • Namespaces make it clear what’s “official” versus ad-hoc.
Velocity
  • Agents and notebooks can use the same definitions.
  • Teams iterate safely via drafts and publishing.
  • Less rework for data teams when stakeholders ask the same questions weekly.
Why it matters

Self-serve breaks when definitions drift. A semantic catalog makes shared context explicit so answers are consistent across notebooks, conversations, and teams.
