Apache Ossie (incubating) is the universal standard for semantic data

Data Apache
Apache Ossie is now an incubating project, providing a standardized way to define semantic data across datasets, metrics, and business relationships.
What: Apache Ossie (formerly Open Semantic Interchange) is a new Apache Incubating project that establishes a universal specification for data modeling, ensuring consistent definitions for agents and analytical tools.
Why it matters: Standardizing semantic definitions prevents the common issue of inconsistent metrics and data interpretation across heterogeneous data tools and teams.
Decoder
  • Semantic Data: Data that includes formal definitions and relationships, allowing machines to understand the business meaning behind raw records rather than just their types.
