Synchronising Power BI to Metric Views with Tabular Editor's Semantic Bridge
Summary
Tabular Editor's new "Semantic Bridge" feature, launching in January, enables automatic synchronization of semantic models between Databricks Unity Catalog metric views and Power BI. This tool translates structural components and common SQL snippets into DAX, allowing users to maintain consistent business logic across different platforms.

NewsThe Shift to System One | System One Models - Part One
The video introduces system one AI models designed for fast, low-cost classification and decision-making instead of token-by-token text generation. It demonstrates how these models provide reliable probability confidence scores and fixed-option routing for workflows like query categorization and real-time automation.
NewsBig Data LDN 2026 - Lakebase & LTAP | Simon Whiteley & Holly Smith
Lakebase and LTAP enable two separate engines to read from a single copy of data by making PostgreSQL page servers and safekeepers behave like Delta or Iceberg tables. This architecture eliminates the need for manual synchronization between operational and analytical systems to support real-time AI agents and applications.
NewsBig Data LDN 2026 - what's the vibe like? | Simon Whiteley & Holly Smith
The Big Data London 2026 conference shows a shift from AI hype and fearmongering toward practical business value and meaningful implementation. Practitioners are focusing on proven tools and realistic use cases rather than building expensive custom models from scratch.
NewsRethinking Data Strategy for the Genie Ontology World
The video teaches data teams how to rethink traditional data strategy for runtime AI tools like Databricks Genie Ontology by categorizing enterprise data into a multi-tiered maturity model rather than forcing everything into a single curated semantic layer. It demonstrates how to establish different governance and maintenance approaches across a structured data estate, ranging from heavily curated walled gardens to managed parks and wider unstructured woodlands.
EventsThe Ontological Definition of Databricks Genie Ontology via OntoRank
Databricks Genie Ontology uses a ranking algorithm (OntoRank) to dynamically infer data definitions based on source credibility, usage frequency, and certification, enabling AI agents to answer questions without requiring formal ontologies. The tool democratizes data access but risks surfacing incorrect definitions if not paired with basic data governance practices.
