Business Intelligence Semantic Model
Business Intelligence Semantic Model
(
BISM
) is a new data model that was
introduced by Microsoft in SQL Server 2012. It is a single unified BI platform that
publicizes one model for all end-user experiences. It is a hybrid model that exposes
two storage implementations: the multidimensional data model (formerly called
OLAP) and the tabular data model, which uses the xVelocity engine (formally
called VertiPaq), all of which are hosted in
SQL Server Analysis Services
(
SSAS
).
The tabular data model provides the architecture and optimization in a format
that is the same as the data storage method used by PowerPivot, which uses an
in-memory analytics engine to deliver fast access to tabular data. Tabular data models
are built using
SQL Server Data Tools
(
SSDT
) and can be created from scratch or by
importing a PowerPivot data model contained within an Excel workbook.
