Sigma has partnered with Snowflake and other industry leaders to introduce the Open Semantic Interchange (OSI), an open-source initiative aimed at standardizing semantic data definitions. This collaboration seeks to enhance interoperability across AI and business intelligence (BI) tools, enabling organizations to define metrics once, govern centrally, and analyze universally.
Sigma and Snowflake launch Open Semantic Interchange (OSI) initiative.
OSI creates a vendor-neutral standard for semantic data definitions.
Enhances interoperability for AI and BI across diverse platforms.
Reduces complexity in data operations for streamlined AI adoption.
Supported by leaders in BI, data governance, and financial services.
Enables consistent metrics across dashboards and machine learning models.
The Open Semantic Interchange (OSI) tackles the challenge of fragmented data definitions across tools, which hinders AI and BI adoption. “At Sigma, we believe a common, open semantic standard is an absolutely critical step for the industry,” said Mike Palmer, CEO of Sigma. By providing a vendor-agnostic specification, OSI ensures consistent metrics and definitions across dashboards, notebooks, and machine learning models, fostering seamless data operations.
OSI, championed by Snowflake and partners across BI, data governance, and other sectors, facilitates semantic metadata exchange in a standard format. “The Open Semantic Interchange is a critical step toward unlocking a new era of interoperability across the data and AI ecosystem,” said Josh Klahr, Director of Analytics Product Management, Snowflake. This initiative simplifies data operations, enabling organizations to adopt AI and BI tools more efficiently.
As a launch partner, Sigma is committed to building a transparent, community-driven standard for semantic model sharing. This ensures business metrics remain consistent and interoperable, reducing complexity and accelerating innovation. Sigma’s integration with Snowflake’s semantic capabilities strengthens OSI’s impact, enabling organizations to trust that data is defined once and governed centrally.
The OSI initiative empowers organizations to build flexible, efficient data infrastructures. By standardizing semantic metadata, it supports comprehensive data analysis and data product sharing, fueling AI-driven innovation across industries like financial services and manufacturing. This collaborative effort paves the way for scalable, interoperable AI and BI solutions.
The Open Semantic Interchange marks a pivotal step toward a unified data and AI ecosystem. Sigma, Snowflake, and their partners are driving innovation by enabling organizations to streamline operations and unlock the full potential of their data infrastructure.
