🚀Excited to share how @CollateData 's $10M Series A accelerates @open_metadata open source mission → Faster release velocity → More Product Development and community support → Renewed investment in open core Read more in the OpenMetadata blog: blog.open-metadata.org/collate-raises…

@github would be nice to not have co-pilot leave 300+ comments on a single PR about not having credits , one reminder is usually good enough :). Instead of polluting comments where real comments are hard to find!!

Jo Perez has a new episode of Data30 out for you! "Agentic-Ready Data: Building a Trusted Context Layer". The differentiator for enterprise AI isn't the model... It's whether the context around it is trustworthy, fresh, owned, and semantically clear. This session shows how Collate turns scattered metadata into an agent-ready context layer: an open knowledge graph that unifies 130+ sources, a semantic foundation for a glossary, metrics, domains, and data products, and a governed MCP gateway that gives your AI agents context they can trust without direct database access. 🎥Watch👉here: buff.ly/0zoJPFa #dataengineering #AIcontext #datacontext

Collate is part of Apache Ossie (Incubating), and we couldn't be happier to see the project formerly known as "Open Semantic Interchange (OSI)" land at the Apache Software Foundation. We joined OSI back in February because the problem it's solving is one we live every day at Collate: your business terms mean five different things depending on which tool you're looking at them in. Revenue in the warehouse isn't Revenue in the BI dashboard isn't Revenue in the AI agent that just answered someone's question with total confidence and the wrong number. Moving under Apache governance matters more than it might look like from the outside. A standard that only one vendor controls is really just that vendor's opinion with extra steps. Apache Ossie means the spec belongs to the community, releases go through a vote, and no single company gets to quietly bend the definition of "open" to fit its roadmap. As the team behind @Open_Metadata, we've been building toward this exact kind of open, vendor-neutral infrastructure. Metadata and semantics only do their job when they can move freely across metadata, BI, and AI layers rather than being locked into a single platform. Good to be building this one in the open, alongside @Snowflake, @getdbt, @Databricks, @Dremio, and the rest of the crew making this happen.

One week to go, everyone! OpenMetadata Community Meeting: July 22, 9 AM PT. Prasanth Cherukuri from @salesforce, plus a preview of more @CollateData 2.0 and OpenMetadata 2.0. Register: buff.ly/hXRR45M #OpenMetadata #AI #Salesforce #Collate #Community

Last call: live demo tomorrow on building a trusted context layer for AI agents. Wed 7/15, 9am PT. 30 min. Jo Perez hosts. Register: buff.ly/Ipwhs5s #AIAgents #ContextLayer

130+ sources. One graph. An agent-ready context layer, not another dashboard. See how Collate unifies glossary, metrics, domains, and data products into an open context layer agents can trust. Live demo. Wed 7/15, 9am PT: buff.ly/Ipwhs5s #ContextLayer #AIAgents

@Scout24 turned fragmented metadata into a context layer for trusted human + AI analytics. MCP-fed knowledge sources, LLM-enriched descriptions, and a confidence score on every AI answer.

One open knowledge graph across 130+ sources feeding a governed MCP gateway. That's how agents get context without direct access to the database. Jo Perez (@CollateData) demos it live. Wednesday, July 15, 9:00 AM PT. Free. Register: buff.ly/F4uT8iq #OpenMetadata #ContextLayer #AIAgents

There has been a lot of exciting news of late around @Dremio and @SAP with the recent acquisition. Coincidentally, our Dremio connector went live just recently. To that end, @progrockrec and Keya Karimian switch roles in this special Collate Solutions episode focusing on the Dremio connector, with a bit of a sneak peek into the 2.0 Knowledge Graph feature. This video is not to be missed! 🎥Watch 👉here: buff.ly/xFcVF22 #Dremio #DataCatalog #OpenMetadata #DataIntegration #Collate

An agent that doesn't know what a term means can't act on it safely. Jo Perez demos how AskCollate, AI Studio & the AI SDK read from one trusted context layer before they act. Live, 30 min. Wed 7/15, 9am PT: luma.com/g1pb9htw #AIAgents #SemanticIntelligence #ContextLayer

Agents can't act safely on a term they don't understand. See how a governed MCP gateway plus an open knowledge graph gives agents grounded answers. No direct DB access needed. Wed 7/15, 9am PT | luma.com/g1pb9htw #OpenMetadata #AIAgents #DataEngineering

I really enjoyed the conversation around governance in an AI-first world with Lukas from Airbus

Excel won't get you compliant. Spreadsheets create delays. Errors propagate. Audit trails disappear. BCBS 239 demands automation, not patchwork. Leading teams shift from manual reconciliation to policy-as-code. Validation gates before production. Real-time compliance proof.

🚀 Connecting Collate to @StarRocksLabs just got easier. In this episode of Collate Solutions, @progrockrec teamed up with Chris Sapinksi of @phoenixdataai to build a seamless integration that lets you catalog and govern your StarRocks data warehouse in minutes. You'll learn how quick it is to connect StarRocks to Collage, and you'll also get an example of exploring the ingested assets using our conversational, Ask Collate, AI interface. No more digging through settings menus or wondering how to get back to that spot you saw one time. Just Ask Collate! 🎥👉Watch here: buff.ly/I8D5P6s #StarRocks #DataCatalog #OpenMetadata #DataIntegration #Collate

Unity's Dax bot queries its context layer at the moment of decision, over the OpenMetadata MCP. 7-minute compliance reviews. Incident triage where blast radius is a query, not a search. Jeppe Johansen, #CollateSummit '26. Full talk → buff.ly/VBeN4FG #OpenMetadata #MCP
