OpenMetadata, Bringing Semantic Understanding to Your Data to Power AI

Submitted Nov 3, 2025

Type of submission: 30 mins talk

AI can generate code, queries, and dashboards but it still doesn’t understand your data. Without context, lineage, ownership, and business meaning, AI systems remain disconnected from the reality of your enterprise data.

OpenMetadata bridges this gap by bringing semantic understanding to your data , transforming fragmented assets across databases, pipelines, dashboards, and models into a connected knowledge graph. This unified graph gives AI the context it needs to reason about data, automate workflows, and deliver trustworthy insights.

In this session, we’ll explore how organizations are using OpenMetadata as the semantic layer for AI, enabling intelligent automation across data governance, quality, and discovery. We’ll also demonstrate how AI agents built on the Model Context Protocol (MCP) can act safely and autonomously on metadata optimizing pipelines, improving quality, and keeping data systems in sync.

Key Takeaways

  • Learn how OpenMetadata provides the semantic foundation that allows AI to understand and act on your data.
  • See how knowledge graphs and embeddings make data workflows context-aware and self-optimizing.
  • Discover how AI agents powered by OpenMetadata and MCP are driving a new era of automated governance and analytics.

Ideal Audience

  • Data and AI leaders, platform engineers, and analytics practitioners building the next generation of AI-ready data platforms.
