Databao Becomes a Partner of the Open Semantic Interchange Initiative led by Snowflake and other industry leaders | The JetBrains Blog

Databao, a recent product from JetBrains, has joined the Open Semantic Interchange (OSI), an initiative led by Snowflake and other industry leaders to create a shared, vendor-neutral standard for semantic metadata. This collaboration aims to enhance interoperability and governance of semantic models, making semantic context portable across various tools and platforms, thereby reducing complexity and facilitating the adoption of AI and analytics tools. Databao aligns with OSI's principles by emphasizing scalable trust through a continuously refined semantic layer and offering flexibility without sacrificing governance. The product allows data teams to maintain control over their data sources and supports the creation of AI-native analytics experiences, enabling users to query data in plain language. Databao's components, including a context engine and data agent, can operate independently or integrate with existing infrastructure, promoting a community-driven approach to semantic model sharing.
