The Open Semantic Interchange creates an open, vendor-neutral framework for exchanging business meaning and semantics across data and AI platforms.
Denodo, a global leader in data management, powering trustworthy AI agents and applications, today announced that it is joining the Open Semantic Interchange (OSI), an open source initiative that creates a universal specification for companies to standardize fragmented data definitions through an open, vendor-neutral semantic model.
OSI aims to enhance interoperability across tools and platforms, offering enterprises a consistent framework for metrics and definitions across dashboards, notebooks, and machine learning models.
OSI is led by Snowflake, the AI Data Cloud company, alongside ecosystem partners spanning business intelligence, data governance, data engineering, AI, financial services, and manufacturing. Its goal is to define semantic metadata in a standard, open format that enables seamless exchange across platforms.
By facilitating interoperability, the initiative is expected to accelerate adoption of AI and BI tools, streamline operations, and reduce complexity. Organizations will be able to unify data definitions, enabling more accurate analysis and stronger data product sharing to fuel AI innovation.
“A universal, vendor-neutral semantic standard is critical for enterprises to accelerate innovation and unlock greater business value from AI and analytics,” said Kijoon Lee, Vice President of Strategic Alliances at Denodo. “We’re excited to join the Open Semantic Interchange and collaborate with Snowflake and other industry leaders to define the next-generation semantic standard.”
“Through OSI, Denodo will enable interoperability between its semantic layer — delivering trusted business context and live access to operational data across hybrid, multi-cloud, and sovereign environments — and other semantic technologies, helping customers drive measurable business outcomes.”
As a member of OSI, Denodo will contribute to building a transparent, community-driven standard for semantic model sharing, ensuring consistency and interoperability of business metrics and definitions.
“Unlocking the full potential of data and AI requires a common foundation, and the Open Semantic Interchange is the critical step in building that bedrock,” said Josh Klahr, Director of Analytics Product Management at Snowflake.
“Our collaboration with partners like Denodo establishes a unified, vendor-neutral standard for semantic data, ensuring clarity and consistency across the ecosystem. This initiative is essential for simplifying data operations, fostering innovation, and enabling the next generation of AI applications.”
OSI is positioned to advance interoperability across the data and AI ecosystem by introducing a transparent, open standard. The initiative aims to simplify data operations, expand innovation potential, and provide organizations with the flexibility needed to build future-ready data infrastructure.
