This is a really interesting perspective. Are you saying the context layer should be creating the data infrastructure, aka modeling data? That I don’t agree with, but I’m not sure if that’s what you meant.
Is my understanding coreect that the semantic layer is like that data definition file, and the context layer is the data or summary of data? Applied to unstructured knowledge instead of structured data.
A very important distinction that needs to be made. This whole area is getting quite conflated and confusing. Great read Yali!
Great post, Yali! I like how you have articulated the distinction between a semantic layer and a context layer, super helpful!
Thanks Nas!
The more I think about it, the more I believe now that context layers are going to be the most critical parts of data chatbots.

I did too much nodding in agreement while reading this piece!
