"If the foundations aren't there, every model will be confidently wrong." Live panel from @BigDataLDN: our CEO Suresh Srinivas, @MikeFerguson1, and Angelita Frozza Sanches (@Scout24) share experience from 1 year in production with AI agents. 🎥 youtube.com/watch?v=fmekRwap… #AIforData #ContextLayer #BigDataLDN #OpenMetadata

Critical governance knowledge lived in individual "data historians," the people who knew where reports originated and why certain transformations existed. When those people left, transferred, or retired, they took that knowledge with them.

"If context is your moat, it should be open source." Suresh Srinivas (@suresh_m_s), Collate CEO, @BigData_LDN: proprietary context layers trap your AI advantage inside one vendor. Open context compounds. 7x fewer wrong answers. 75% fewer tokens. 4,000+ orgs including OpenAI, Yelp, Airbus. buff.ly/KEkm0gh #AIforData #ContextLayer #AIAgents #OpenMetadata

How many teams have to agree on what "customer" means before your CFO gets a revenue number? @suresh_m_s speaks in @InfoWorld on why AI makes enterprise semantics practical: 7x more accurate answers, query workloads down 86% in our tests. buff.ly/3bMCyyf #Semantics #ContextLayer #OpenMetadata

A user survey at @RakutenGroup found that it took two to three months to determine whether a dataset was useful for a given problem. OpenMetadata is changing that for @RakutenGroup. Read about it here: buff.ly/g91MrpO #OpenMetadata #DataDiscovery #DataGovernance #DataEngineering

Two hours. The Agent-Ready Context Layer, 8am PT. @JessicaTalisman and @d3fmacro on telling a real ontology from a relabeled glossary, and why agents fall over without one. Bring a claim you've been asked to believe. buff.ly/V7a3e5u #Ontology #ContextLayer #OpenMetadata

What happens when your AI agents understand the data, but not what it actually means? For one company, even "order" meant different things across teams - and that ambiguity was enough to make reliable AI reasoning a challenge. See how they approached building the shared context their agents needed to reason consistently across the business.

For our latest episode of Ask the Experts, Collate Founding Account Executive Pierre Jaouen talks with @progrockrec . They talk about the challenges companies face with directives like GDPR, BCBS, and other requirements in Europe, how they are solving these problems, and how Collate also plays a role in the solution.

We all talk about AI, but the real product is not AI. Context is the real product. AI just multiplies it. Angelita Frozza Sanches, Head of Core Data Platform at Scout24, on what her team built underneath its AI platform.

7.1x more accurate answers. 86% less compute. Our own benchmarks, on our own testing. Inference is where the errors and the token spend live. @JessicaTalisman + @d3fmacro, Oct 14, 8am PT. buff.ly/38oZeEz #ContextLayer #AIforData #OpenMetadata

Four ways to test a context layer before you trust it: 1. Does it make commitments? 2. Can you inspect the logic? 3. Does inference trace to a rule? 4. Who owns the output? @JessicaTalisman + @d3fmacro, Oct 14, 8am PT. buff.ly/zfxHhUh #Ontology #AIAgents #OpenMetadata

Every vendor in this category claims a "context layer." The word stopped meaning anything. We had an independent ontology consultant audit ours against the formal definition, not the marketing one. @JessicaTalisman's verdict: most vendor "ontologies" are a glossary with a hierarchy. Ours passed the harder test: typed relationships, logical axioms, and inference you can trace. buff.ly/dXCGKbX #OpenMetadata #ContextLayer #Ontology

Most vendors show you the answer. We showed our work, and let an independent ontology expert, @JessicaTalisman, grade Collate's context layer, glossary, ontology, and knowledge graph → buff.ly/frUip8D #OpenMetadata #Ontology #ContextLayer

🚨Happening tonight in San Francisco! Open Lakehouse & AI Meetup, hosted with @Dremio and @Lensesio. 📆 Thursday, October 8 | 6–9 PM 📍 Hardwood Bar & Smokery, 680 8th St, San Francisco, CA 94103 🍕 Food & drinks provided Hear from: 🎤 Sriharsha Chintalapani (CTO & Co-founder, Collate) - "Iceberg Made Tables Open. What Makes Context Open?" 🎤 Tun Shwe (Lenses) - "Understanding Agent Harnesses" 🎤 Alex Merced (Dremio) - "The Open Agentic Lakehouse: Building an Open Data and AI Ecosystem" If you're in the city and want to talk open lakehouse, agentic AI, or just grab a bite with people building this stuff, come on by.

In just two hours. The Context Swamp, 9am PT. 30 minutes with @Eric_Kavanagh, Bharath Chari, and Jo Perez on whether AI agents are about to repeat the data lake's worst mistake one layer up. Questions at the end; bring one. buff.ly/CX65dkJ #ContextLayer #AIAgents #OpenMetadata

@JessicaTalisman has spent 25 years on the part of AI that nobody posts about. Most AI deployments skip all of it, then wonder why the agent is confidently wrong. Oct 14, 8am PT, with @d3fmacro. buff.ly/ntz2Eqo #Ontology #Semantics #OpenMetadata

Every agent needs the same four things: what your data means, which definitions to trust, what's been decided, what it can see. Rebuild those per agent, and you get a context swamp. Oct 7, 9am PT. buff.ly/hQnkM40 #ContextLayer #AIAgents #OpenMetadata

@RakutenGroup operates more than 70 services across 30-plus countries and over 2.1 billion users, including e-commerce, fintech, mobile, and media. Underneath it all: catalogs scattered across Excel files, Confluence pages, and homegrown web apps, one per engineering team. See how @open_metadata gave 70+ services one shared context platform: buff.ly/z48APc6 #OpenMetadata #DataGovernance #DataDiscovery #DataEngineering #ContextPlatform

We built data lakes that turned into swamps. We're about to do it again, faster. Every agent rebuilding its own context = a context swamp. @Eric_Kavanagh + Bharath Chari + Jo Perez. 30 mins, Oct 7, 9am PT. buff.ly/6NaDVMe #ContextLayer #AIAgents #OpenMetadata
