that's a fair point. we use "ontology" throughout the product because of the influence from Palantir, and the fact that the structure we use in the product (from palantir) is in fact a bit different from what most people would create in semantic layers like dbt or cube

but i agree it's confusing. we are considering changing the naming around to account for this. i appreciate the feedback!

Calling it an ontology might be confusing indeed — nevertheless it’s definitely valuable to have an automatic way to generate and hydrate a semantic model from raw data
