MICROSOFT, GOOGLE BACK APACHE OSSIE TO MAKE ENTERPRISE DATA AND AI PLATFORMS MORE INTEROPERABLE

Summary from the TLDR IT newsletter

Microsoft and Google have joined an open-source effort to make semantic models portable across analytics, data, and AI platforms, alongside companies including Salesforce, Snowflake, Oracle, Nvidia, and Databricks. If it works, enterprises could reuse business definitions and data models across systems such as Power BI and BigQuery instead of rebuilding them inside every platform - although analysts say governance and vendor-specific differences remain obstacles.
