Overview: This practical session guides attendees through the Microsoft Fabric IQ interface: exploring workspaces, semantic models, and how ontologies are surfaced within the platform. We'll connect a sample dataset to a semantic layer, define key business entities and relationships, and demonstrate how Fabric IQ uses that ontological context to generate richer, more accurate insights. No prior Fabric experience required. You'll leave with a foundational understanding of how to begin structuring your own organization's knowledge model.
