Semantic Layer for Databricks

The Ultimate Semantic Layer for your Lakehouse

Innovative companies like Databricks and their lakehouse approach help organizations simplify their data architecture by unifying their data, analytics, and AI workloads on a common platform. Lakehouses are effectively becoming the prime design pattern for consolidating data naturally amassed in silos, which is critical for modern data management strategies and enabling all analytical workloads. However, to deliver even more ROI for an organization, these lakehouses need to demonstrate business value. That means being able to answer complex questions by connecting relevant data elements and providing true context and greater meaning to data by modeling relationships.

Stardog’s Enterprise Knowledge Graph platform powers a “critical middle” semantic data layer to accelerate returns from your lakehouse investment. By connecting enterprise data and overlaying business semantics, knowledge graphs facilitate more agile data operations, reduce the cost of data integration, and help generate powerful insights into complex business challenges.

Harmonize data with business meaning

Data consumers can easily define relevant business concepts and relationships as a semantic data model meaningful to their use-case with our no-code, low-code visual modeling tool. Data can be shared and reused through a common, standards-based vocabulary. The semantic model can be enhanced with data quality constraints applicable to the business context.

Connect to all relevant data

Data wrangling continues to hinder feature engineering and data science productivity with data both inside and outside the lakehouse. Link to relevant data outside the lakehouse with one of our 150+ connectors, including unstructured text. Stardog’s platform is underpinned by a highly efficient, robust, and ACID-compliant graph database. Ensure near-real-time responses on up to 100 billion data points per installation.

Enable data exploration and discovery

Ask and answer questions across a diverse set of connected data domains to fuel business insights without specialized skills. Inference creates new relationships by interpreting your source data against your data model. By expressing all the implied relationships and connections between your data sources, you create a richer, more accurate view of your data. This includes the ability to represent multiple definitions for the same data, empowering collaboration between stakeholders and expressing situational or theoretical truths.
