Semantic Layers: The Missing Foundation for Agentic AI in Enterprise

Session description

Your company is deploying agentic AI. Exciting. Then your AI agents make technically correct but business-wrong decisions. Why? Because raw data isn't enough. AI agents need semantic understanding—structured knowledge about entities, relationships, and business rules.

A semantic layer is the bridge. It transforms your data platform from a static repository into an AI-ready knowledge base where agents can reason, understand context, and explain decisions. In this case study, we'll share real implementation patterns using knowledge graphs, ontologies, and metadata standards to enable agentic AI across your organization. You'll learn architecture patterns, governance practices that scale without blocking teams, and ROI metrics that justify the investment.

Leave with a diagnostic framework to assess your organization's AI readiness, a 3-month roadmap to build semantic architecture, and confidence that your AI agents will make smart decisions grounded in business context.
