Business ownership, implemented as reviewable artifacts.
Each role below maps to concrete artifacts: declared definitions with owners, observed schemas, implementation mappings and native semantic outputs — every change a reviewed diff, executed in your platform.
Detail by role
Mappings, tools, lineage and validation.
- Mappings: each business term is bound to the columns your models use.
- Tools: the same measure serves BI tools and AI assistants on your platform.
- Lineage: follow a measure from definition to the Gold table snapshot to the native semantic view.
- Validation: reconcile results from source to output when definitions or schemas change.
