#286: Metrics Layers. Data Dictionaries. Maybe It's All Semantic (Layers)? With Cindi Howson

Description:

Semantic layers are having something of a moment, but they're not actually new as a concept. Ever since the first database table was designed with cryptic field names that no business user could possibly understand, there's been a need for some form of mapping and translation. Should every company be considering employing a semantic layer? Is the idea of a single, comprehensive semantic layer within an organization a monolithic concept that is doomed to fail? These questions and more get bandied about on this episode, where we were joined by industry legend Cindi Howson, Chief Data & AI Strategy Officer at Thoughtspot.
