Create an ontology with Fabric IQ

Intermediate
Data Analyst
Microsoft Fabric

Ontologies in Fabric IQ transform your data into a business vocabulary that everyone can understand. In this module, you'll learn two ways to create ontologies - building manually to understand the core components, or generating automatically from Power BI semantic models to accelerate development. You'll practice both approaches and learn how to connect your ontology to data sources in OneLake, including lakehouse tables and eventhouse streams.
