Today we are thrilled to unveil our partnership with Databricks, a leading platform for large-scale data processing, analytics, and AI. This collaboration enables Databricks users to extend their lakehouse with Timbr’s ontology-based semantic layer, making business concepts, relationships, measures, and rules available directly across Databricks workflows.
As organizations modernize their data platforms, the challenge is no longer only storing and processing data at scale. Teams also need a governed business model that helps analysts, applications, BI tools, and AI agents understand what the data means.
Databricks’ Delta Lake has become popular thanks to the advanced capabilities it brings to data lakes. Organizations turn to Timbr to enhance Databricks with a semantic business layer made of governed concepts, relationships, measures, and logic. This transforms lakehouse data into a virtual knowledge graph that users and AI agents can query through business meaning instead of raw schemas, while still benefiting from Databricks’ scalability and governance.
Following this transformation, Timbr allows users to create semantic data models – ontologies – on top of Databricks, accessible directly in Timbr and inside Databricks through native integration. The semantic model can be exposed in Unity Catalog / Hive Metastore, allowing users to query governed business concepts directly from Databricks notebooks using SQL, Python, R, or Scala.
For a deeper dive into the integration, and to explore examples of it in action, visit our documentation.
Ready to bring governed business meaning into Databricks? Explore how Timbr’s ontology-based semantic layer helps teams query concepts, relationships, and measures directly from the lakehouse – without moving data or duplicating logic.
