In October of this year, Enterprise Knowledge held our annual Semantic Layer Symposium (SLS) in Vienna, Austria, bringing together industry thought leaders, data experts, and practitioners to explore the transformative potential, and reflect on successful implementations of, Semantic Layers. This year’s SLS maintained its focus on practical applications of Semantic Layers by showcasing real-world use cases, actionable strategies, and proven paths to delivering measurable value.

We continue this series with the keynote presentation, presented by Ole Olesen-Bagneux.

How Metadata Management Is Changing in the Era of AI

Speaker: Ole Olesen-Bagneux (Actian)

When Microsoft joined forces with OpenAI to bring conversational search to Bing, Satya Nadella called it “a new day for search.” AI is now bringing a similar shift to metadata management, in particular data catalogs, which have long served as the search engines for enterprise data. As AI changes how organizations find and use information, data catalogs need to support new ways of organizing and searching data: with AI, by AI, without human intervention, and for AI itself. This session explores how AI is changing data discovery, how the role of the data catalog is evolving, and what organizations need to consider as AI becomes an increasingly important consumer of enterprise data.
