INTERACTIVE PREVIEW
MECHANISM
Write once.
Compile anywhere.
Semantic Hub automatically parses your existing BI estate, reconstructing business logic into consistent, governed definitions. Instead of a risky greenfield build, your team gets a fully populated starting point from day one.
Import: Reverse-engineer existing BI semantic assets to capture institutional knowledge without starting from scratch.
Model: Standardize definitions, author new metrics, and establish consistent data stewardship across a canonical model.
Compile: Translate governed logic into the native artifacts and code formats required by each target platform.
Deploy: Publish optimized, platform-specific models to any target data or analytics environment.
FEATURES
Built on one metadata foundation.
Delivered across the estate.
Metrics as code
Apply software engineering best practices: version control, branch management, and CI/CD.
Portable, enterprise-owned definitions
Consistent across every tool in the estate. No vendor lock-in to a runtime layer.
Query efficiency, compute cost optimization
Definitions compiled natively, instead of resolved at query time, reducing redundant compute.
Zero-copy architecture
No more stale data marts, extracts, or snapshots. Query live data without data movement.
BI migration risk mitigated
Definitions travel with the migration. Legacy to modern. On-premises to cloud.
Semantic grounding for AI
Provide curated business context to LLMs to improve AI accuracy.
THE ARCHITECTURAL DIFFERENCE
Run-time vs. compile-time.
What’s next is not a layer.
Middleware Semantic layer
Definitions live in the vendor's runtime
Semantic layers intercept queries at runtime, routing them through the vendor's engine. Your definitions exist only inside their product. Remove it and you lose everything.
All queries route through the vendor's engine, adding latency and a single point of failure
Definitions disappear when you switch tools or remove the middleware
Switching vendors means rewriting your entire semantic model
Lock-in is the business model
MetaKarta Semantic Hub
Definitions live in your systems and tools
MetaKarta compiles metric and calculation logic directly into database-native objects. No middleware. No query routing. The portable definitions are yours.
Compiled metrics live in your warehouse, nothing to route through at runtime
Definitions survive a tool change. They exist in the data layer, not in a vendor product
Switch BI tools without redefining your semantics
Open standard Semantic Hub Language (SHL)
USE CASES
Governed data.
Everywhere it goes.
PILLAR 1
Modernization & Migration
Eliminate vendor lock-in, accelerate cloud migrations, and modernize your stack with zero downtime
USE CASE
Database migration
without BI disruption
Migrate to a modern database in days, not months, without re-wiring a single BI dashboard.
USE CASE
BI platform
modernization
Move to a new BI platform without rebuilding years of business logic from scratch.
USE CASE
Portable semantics across database platforms
Deploy semantic definitions across databases without re-engineering, avoiding lock-in.
PILLAR 2
Unified Governance & Agility
Break down data silos, reduce cloud costs, and rebuild trust in your data
USE CASE
Single source of truth for metrics & KPIs
Pull from the same governed definitions, so that boardroom numbers match and audits close faster for every team.
USE CASE
Lower overhead & faster dashboards
Eliminate redundant extracts, cut cloud compute costs, and speed up dashboards with centralized metric definitions.
USE CASE
Cross-data store joins without ETL
Join data across warehouses, operational databases, and data lakes on demand, without building pipelines or moving data.
PILLAR 3
Universal Data Consumption
Deliver governed definitions to every consumer
USE CASE
Trusted & auditable AI
Trace every AI answer back to a governed metric definition your team can verify and audit.
USE CASE
Spreadsheets without the export
Query live data from governed definitions in the tool your finance team already uses.
USE CASE
Embedded analytics
without rewrites
Return the same answer from the same governed definition, without rewriting logic in every app.
