US EditionRelationalAI Joins Snowflake and Industry Leaders to Establish the Open Semantic Interchange (OSI) Industry Initiative
The Open Semantic Interchange initiative unites 17 major companies to create a vendor-neutral standard improving interoperability and accelerating AI innovation, industry leaders said.
- On Tuesday, RelationalAI and Snowflake, the AI Data Cloud company, launched the Open Semantic Interchange in Berkeley, Calif., joining industry partners including Salesforce and BlackRock Inc.
- Fragmented semantic definitions pushed partners to form OSI to reduce interoperability friction across BI and AI applications, targeting enhanced interoperability, faster adoption, and streamlined operations.
- Format-first: the OSI working group will publish an open-source repository and converters, focusing on format rather than runtime engines, while YAML is likely the definition language.
- Vendor response: BlackRock Inc. said OSI would integrate with its Aladdin platform, while Ryan Segar at dbt Labs emphasized the importance of a vendor-neutral specification for scalable AI.
- OSI joins 2025 efforts like MCP and Agent2Agent amid a busy standards landscape, with Snowflake saying the initiative will likely be donated to Apache or the Linux Foundation.

Snowflake, Salesforce Launch New Standard To Unify Data for AI
Business intelligence service provider Snowflake has kicked off a vendor-neutral initiative to create a standard for adding contextual information to structured and unstructured BI data. To be built in YAML (probably) and ultimately managed by a standalone entity, the Open Semantic Interchange (OSI) aims to be a “universal semantic data framework,” enabling different organizations to share data across their platforms using a common set of defini…
Snowflake, Salesforce, dbt Labs, BlackRock Launch Open Semantic Interchange to Standardise Data for AI
Snowflake, along with Salesforce, BlackRock, dbt Labs, RelationalAI and several other partners, on Tuesday launched the Open Semantic Interchange (OSI), an open-source initiative aimed at standardising fragmented data semantics across platforms and tools. The initiative introduces a vendor-neutral semantic model specification designed to create consistency in how business logic is defined and shared across artificial intelligence (AI) and busine…
