AI-powered metadata intelligence platform

Turn scattered data into shared understanding

One semantic layer for every warehouse, lake, and cloud you run — automatically discovered, humanly governed, and instantly conversational.

The Shift

From scattered systems to shared meaning.

Your data isn't scattered because you have too little of it. It's scattered because nothing agrees on what any of it means.

Without Semanta

Metadata lives in tribal knowledge, wiki pages, and the heads of the three people about to leave.

The same “customer_id” means five different things across Snowflake, Databricks, and the legacy Oracle box nobody wants to touch.

Every new warehouse or lake adds another dialect to a business glossary nobody actually maintains.

Analysts spend more time asking “what does this column mean?” than analyzing what it says.

With Semanta

AI drafts table- and column-level metadata automatically, so knowledge survives past any one person.

One governed business glossary defines every term once, enforced across every connected source.

New sources plug into the same semantic layer instantly — no new dialect, no drift.

An agentic chatbot answers those questions instantly, with lineage-aware, cited context.

How It Works

How Data Becomes Business Insight

STEP 01

Connect

Semanta plugs into every cloud and warehouse you run — Snowflake, BigQuery, Redshift, Databricks, Postgres, SQL Server, Oracle, S3 — through secure, read-only connectors. No migration, no duplication, nothing leaves your environment.

STEP 02

Scan

With a single click, teams trigger a scan. Semanta crawls schemas, tables, columns, and pipelines across every connected source, safely and on your schedule.

STEP 03

Discover

As the scan completes, Semanta builds a live relationship graph — how tables join, where data flows, what depends on what. Our AI reads that graph and drafts table- and column-level metadata, insights, and business glossary terms automatically.

STEP 04

Curate

Every AI-generated definition lands in a stewardship dashboard, not a black box. Data owners visualize the graph, edit definitions, and approve what goes live — human judgment stays firmly in the loop.

STEP 05

Enrich

Meaning doesn't only live in schemas. Teams upload PDFs, internal docs, wikis, and blog posts, and Semanta reads those too — folding tribal knowledge into the same intelligence layer as your tables and columns.

STEP 06

Unify

Every discovered relationship, approved definition, and ingested document condenses into one common semantic layer — a single, governed source of meaning sitting above every disconnected system.

STEP 07

Converse

On top of that semantic layer runs an agentic, production-grade RAG chatbot. Ask it anything, across any connected database, and it answers with context and citations — turning scattered infrastructure into insight your business can act on.

03 · The Core Layer

One semantic layer. Every source of truth.

Every relationship Semanta discovers, every definition a steward approves, every document it reads — all of it condenses into a single governed semantic layer. It is the one place your business agrees on what its data means, no matter which cloud it lives in.

Core Capabilities

Three pillars. One semantic layer.

Automated Discovery

Semanta scans every connected source and builds a living relationship graph — then lets AI draft table- and column-level metadata, glossary terms, and insights automatically. Nobody starts from a blank spreadsheet again.

Governed Stewardship

Every AI suggestion lands in a stewardship dashboard before it goes live. Data owners visualize the graph, edit definitions, and approve changes — so metadata stays accurate without becoming a bottleneck.

Agentic Knowledge Chat

A production-grade RAG chatbot sits on top of the unified semantic layer, answering natural-language questions across every connected database with lineage-aware, cited responses.

Architecture

Built to unify. Governed by design.

Every Semanta deployment ships with a stewardship loop and an audit trail — not as an afterthought, as the foundation the semantic layer sits on.
