Dell adds semantic layer and knowledge graph to its AI Data Platform

Dell expanded its AI Data Platform with agentic AI features: a Unified Semantic Layer with a searchable glossary, an Enterprise Knowledge Graph built on Nvidia's open-source Auto-Ontology library, and data preparation tools. Dell says the main barrier to scaling AI is not compute but the quality and accessibility of enterprise data.

• Unified Semantic Layer gives terms like "defect" the same meaning across plants
• Enterprise Knowledge Graph links structured and unstructured data via metadata and lineage
• Platform relies on Nvidia NIM, CUDA, Nemotron Retriever and cuVS
• Dell: infrastructure is ready but data isn't, holding back AI scaling
