The agreed definitions, running inside Databricks.
The Databricks App is how the meaning your business owns reaches Databricks: it produces the Unity Catalog metric views that AI/BI Genie reads, and keeps them in step when a definition or a source schema changes — reviewed by your team before anything ships.
The Databricks App produces Unity Catalog metric views used by AI/BI Genie, inside your Databricks account.
From your definition to your platform, in five reviewed steps.
Every step produces something your team can read and approve — nothing changes in your platform without a review.
- 01
Observe
Inspect physical tables, columns and relationships in your platform.
- 02
Connect meaning
Map business definitions to their physical implementation.
- 03
Refine
Resolve the platform details that make a semantic model usable.
- 04
Deploy
Produce the native semantic artifact for your selected platform.
- 05
Maintain
Review changes to definitions, schemas and their mappings together.
Already have Ossie models? Start with the Native App in your platform, then connect Duodata's business definitions when your team needs shared ownership and meaning.
When a source column changes, you see what it touches.
A renamed column surfaces the one affected mapping. The business definition and the reported totals stay the same — only the connection is updated, after review.
Mapping and native output match the observed schema.
