Representation and interoperability

Semantic catalog over source metadata; do not assume OWL interchange.

Updates and versioning

Certified corrections can improve shared context; verify the version policy.

Limitations to check

Requires connected sources and inference services. Generated business definitions need certification; do not assume the output uses a standard OWL representation.

Build a meaningful sample

Test ambiguous terms, conflicting metric definitions, source mappings, and schema changes. Check how revisions affect the same workload.
