Ataccama open-sources converter bringing data quality to Apache Ossie
Ataccama, the data trust company, announced it will open-source a converter that integrates governed business definitions and real-time data quality signals into Apache Ossie (Incubating), the open semantic specification originally introduced by Snowflake as Open Semantic Interchange (OSI). This converter enables AI agents and analytics tools to understand the meaning of enterprise data and assess its reliability before acting on it. By evaluating data quality at the source and across cloud platforms, Ataccama ensures these trust signals are portable across AI and analytics environments. The converter is designed to help AI agents avoid acting on incomplete or poor-quality data, addressing a critical challenge as AI takes on more autonomous roles. Contributions to Apache Ossie include those from Snowflake, Databricks, and dbt.
Ataccama's move to integrate data quality into an open semantic standard (Apache Ossie) is a significant step for AI agent reliability in enterprise data, though it's not industry-shifting on the scale of major platform changes; it addresses a growing need for trustworthy AI.

Ataccama Integrates with Databricks Marketplace
Ataccama announced a native integration with Databricks, making Ataccama’s MCP Server (Trust Layer) available in the Databricks Marketplace. The integration brings data quality, lineage, and governance signals from enterprise source systems — including SAP, Oracle and mainframes — into Databricks pipelines, workflows and AI tools. Capabilities include running data quality checks via SQL with Spark pushdown on Databricks compute, Data Quality Gates integrated with Databricks Lakeflow and DLT pipelines, cross-system lineage capture, and governance that extends across more than 200 connectors and platforms such as dbt and AWS Glue. Ataccama and Databricks position the integration to help organisations build AI applications and agents on trusted, certified data.
Zeta Global Joins Snowflake's Open Semantic Interchange
Zeta Global announced it has joined the Open Semantic Interchange (OSI), an open-source initiative led by Snowflake to create a vendor-neutral semantic model specification for standardizing semantic metadata and business metrics. OSI aims to improve interoperability across BI, AI, data engineering and analytics tools by providing a common specification so definitions and metrics remain consistent across dashboards, notebooks and machine learning models. Zeta says participation will help its enterprise customers make ZMP data and insights interoperable with broader data and AI tooling, reducing integration friction and accelerating AI adoption.
