Semantic offerings by connector
Semantic offerings are the semantic assets that Atlan catalogs from each connected tool, such as semantic models, datasets, metric views, or explores. These semantic definitions map technical data structures like tables, columns, joins, and filters to business-friendly concepts such as metrics and dimensions so teams interpret business logic consistently across tools.
This reference page gives you a connector-by-connector view of supported semantic offerings. The table below summarizes which semantic assets Atlan catalogs for each tool, what those assets typically contain, and the current support status, with links to connector documentation for crawl details and limitations.
