Qlik introduced Semantic Models on 28 October, putting reusable business definitions into its data products. The aim is to carry established measures and relationships between applications and AI experiences.[1]
For net revenue, the sales records are only part of the answer: returns, discounts and reporting periods determine what gets counted. A shared definition gives different applications the same rule to apply.[1]
