dbt Labs plans to launch the dbt Semantic Layer in Public Preview in October.

The Semantic Layer allows defining business metrics once and querying them from any tool.
-
The new system aims to combine precision and flexibility without pre-aggregating metric data.

It integrates with other data tools, acting as the 'glue' in the decentralized modern data stack.
-
The launch is part of a longer-term goal to introduce full semantic relationships and virtualized dimensions.
