Quotes of the Episode:

"...I think whilst we're still maybe in the very early stages of semantic layers and things like that, I think it's definitely something to watch out for in the future." - David

"...You need something that's going to give it context, but you also need something that's going to give it constraint, and that's kind of like what's really good about a semantic layer." - David
