LSOPS12-BP01 Create a controlled semantic layer

A semantic layer translates complex life sciences data into understandable business terms, acting as a bridge between raw data and the scientists who need to use it.

Desired outcome: Have a consistent, well managed semantic layer to allow the data to be consumed by analysts

Benefits of establishing this best practice: Provides consistency of result definition. Allows for more straightforward communication with auditors.

Level of risk exposed if this best practice is not established: High

Implementation guidance

Use a tool to centralize and implement semantic layer management.

Implementation steps

  1. Create an Amazon DataZone or Amazon Sagemaker Unified Studio domain.

  2. Use tools to build and manage the semantic layer. Maintain controlled terminology, business glossaries, and metadata while verifying that you adhere to regulatory requirements.
