Open Semantic Interchange + Preset
Preset is a founding member of the Open Semantic Interchange initiative, working toward a future where metrics and dimensions are portable across analytics tools.
Portable metrics for the modern data stack
Metric portability
Define metrics once and use them across different BI tools. No more recreating business logic when switching platforms.
Vendor flexibility
Choose the best tools for each job without worrying about semantic layer lock-in. Your metric definitions travel with you.
Open standard
OSI is an open initiative with participation from multiple vendors. The standard is developed transparently for the benefit of all.
Reduced duplication
Stop maintaining metric definitions in multiple places. A single semantic layer can serve all your analytics tools.
Future-proof investments
As the data landscape evolves, your semantic layer investments remain valuable regardless of tool choices.
Community-driven
Built by practitioners and vendors who understand the pain of siloed metrics. Real-world use cases drive the standard.

Open Semantic Interchange FAQ
Today, metrics defined in one BI tool can't easily move to another. OSI creates a common format for semantic definitions, reducing vendor lock-in and enabling organizations to use the best tools for each job.
Yes. OSI is developed transparently with participation from multiple vendors. The goal is an open standard that benefits the entire data ecosystem, not any single company.
Preset is a founding member of the OSI initiative. We're working to ensure Preset and Apache Superset™ can both export and import semantic definitions in the OSI format.
OSI is an ongoing initiative. Follow the project at opensemanticinterchange.org for updates on specification development and implementation timelines.
