Provide deep integration with modern cloud data platforms to enable automated metadata harvesting, lineage capture, and semantic model mapping. The initial focus will be tight integration with Databricks lakehouse environments, followed by broader AWS cloud data platform integration, enabling Affirma to operate seamlessly within enterprise data lake architectures.

Key Product Functions

• Databricks Unity Catalog metadata harvesting
• Databricks table, schema, and pipeline lineage integration
• Mapping semantic models to lakehouse tables
• AWS S3 metadata discovery and classification
• Automated data source onboarding

Prepare enterprise datasets and knowledge sources so they can support Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) architectures used by generative AI applications. Affirma organizes enterprise knowledge through semantic relationships and metadata enrichment so LLMs can retrieve accurate context.

Key Product Functions

• Dataset semantic indexing
• Knowledge graph creation
• Vector embedding generation
• Document-to-data linking

Translate natural language questions into structured queries by leveraging the semantic model, business glossary, and ontology relationships. Business users can ask questions in plain language and the platform maps the question to the correct datasets and fields.

Key Product Functions

• Natural language to SQL translation
• Query generation via ontology
• Contextual dataset identification

Integrate large language models directly with Affirma’s semantic layer and ontology framework so AI systems can interpret enterprise data using business context rather than raw schemas. The semantic model provides structured meaning, relationships, and governance metadata that guide LLM reasoning and reduce hallucinations.

Key Product Functions

• Semantic context injection for LLM prompts
• Knowledge graph grounding for AI responses
• Ontology-driven prompt templates
• Context retrieval from semantic models
• LLM guardrails based on governance rules

Use AI/ML techniques to automatically enhance metadata across datasets, schemas, and documentation. The platform analyzes table structures, column names, and usage patterns to infer business meaning, relationships, classifications, and ownership. This reduces the manual effort required to build a usable data catalog and helps rapidly scale governance programs.

Key Product Functions

• Automatic dataset classification
• Business glossary mapping suggestions
• Automated tagging and labeling
• Sensitive data detection (PII, regulatory data)
• Schema and entity recognition

Enhance data modeling and quality by leveraging constraints, reference models, and advanced customization capabilities.

• Use data design constraints to generate and support XSD-type structures and validations.
• Build enterprise semantic models from reference models, then derive detailed data designs from them.
• Enable highly specific schema customizations while refining data quality capabilities and controls.
