The Open Semantic Interchange (OSI) specification v1.0 is now available as an Apache 2 licensed open standard for sharing semantic models across data tools and platforms. The specification defines vendor-neutral constructs for datasets, metrics, dimensions, relationships, and contexts to enable consistent business logic interpretation. Major industry players including Databricks, Qlik, AtScale, and others have joined the working group. A dedicated project website has launched at open-semantic-interchange.org, and the initiative plans to transition to foundation-led governance as it matures.
