What is the semantic layer?

Answer Posted / madhu

The semantic layer is an abstraction layer between the database and the business user that frees the business user from the complexity of the data structures and technical names. It enables business users to access, interact, and analyze their data regardless of the underlying data sources and their schemas.
The semantic layer encompasses the following elements: universes, query generation, calculator, local cache (that is, a microcube), query panel, and database connectivity parameters.
