Rise, Fall and re-Rise of the Semantic Layer [English]

Описание: In the data-driven dream everyone knows where the data is, what it means, and how to use it. When you wake up, managing truth and enabling data is hard work fraught with data errors and miscommunication. Data teams tackle this challenge daily - some with tools, some with process and some by building. Nothing seems to scale.
