What Is Oracle Analytics Semantic Modeler?

Oracle Analytics Semantic Modeler is a browser-based data modeling tool with a modern user interface. It provides a streamlined user experience for creating semantic models (governed data models), and is a fully-integrated Analytics Cloud component.

Key benefits include:

• Provides a modern alternative to the Model Administration Tool.
• Includes complete semantic modeling capabilities for most data sources. Support for more data sources to be included in future releases.
• Contains complete semantic modeling capabilities, including physical diagrams, logical diagrams, and lineage diagrams.
• Includes streamlined search integration that seamlessly shows relationships among the semantic model's objects.
• Includes a lineage viewer to show the mapping of physical, logical, and presentation layers.
• Integrates with any Git-based platform, such as GitHub, GitLab, or Git on Oracle Visual Builder, to provide a seamless, efficient multi-user development environment and source control.
• Allows developers to perform most common Git operations from within the Semantic Modeler user interface.
• Transparently generates Semantic Model Markup Language (SMML), which uses Javascript Object Notation (JSON) to define semantic models.
• Allows developers to use their semantic model editor of choice. Developers can use the Semantic Modeler user interface and its diagramming capabilities to create models, or display and use the native SMML editor or use their preferred external text editor to create or modify the semantic model's source code.
• Ability to validate calculations and advanced expressions from within the SMML editor.
