Unity Catalog Pages: a governed home for your business knowledge in Genie Ontology

Unity Catalog Pages are a human-curated layer in Databricks’ Genie Ontology that stores authoritative definitions of business terms, links them to catalog assets, and lets agents like Genie One ground answers in organization-approved meaning.

Unity Catalog Pages: a governed home for your business knowledge in Genie Ontology

Useful takeaways from this story.

Pages provide a governed, single place to capture authoritative definitions (terms, entities, acronyms) alongside the data and assets they describe.

Genie Ontology uses Pages plus automatically learned knowledge (dashboards, queries, tables) so agents can retrieve explicit definitions rather than guessing.

Domains, metric views, and certifications work with Pages to scope where agents look, how numbers are computed, and which assets to trust.

# Pages are

Unity Catalog Pages are a new, governed place to record the authoritative definitions your business relies on: key terms, entities, acronyms, and the context that explains how to use them. They live inside Unity Catalog Discover and are modeled as part of Databricks' Genie Ontology so AI agents have direct access to organization-approved meaning when answering questions.

# Why this matters

# Ontology

  • Metric views: define governed measures and KPIs as reusable calculations.
  • Domains and sub-domains: scope data and knowledge by business area so agents search the right assets.
  • Certification and deprecation: signal which assets are trusted or being retired.

Together, these elements produce a single, governed picture of the business that agents can rely on.

# Page structure and capabilities

Each Page combines structured fields and a rich content area. Structured fields include owner, synonyms, and a description. The Page body can contain links, images, tables, and inline references to Unity Catalog and workspace objects. Key features:

  • Related Assets: point to specific workspace and Unity Catalog objects (tables, dashboards, other Pages) that underpin the definition.
  • Discover organization: Pages live under the same domains and sub-domains used for data, keeping business context next to physical assets.
  • Clickable citations: when an agent uses a Page to ground an answer, the Page is cited as a clickable source so users can inspect the definition and ownership.

# How agents use Pages in practice

# Governance and traceability

Because Pages are governed Unity Catalog objects, they carry ownership and can be certified or deprecated like other catalog assets. Grounding decisions are visible: agents cite Pages they used, and users can inspect the definition and ownership before acting on results.

# What teams will gain

Teams get a single, discoverable place for authoritative business meaning, linked directly to the assets that implement it. That reduces ambiguity, improves reproducibility of analytics, and makes AI-driven answers easier to verify.

# Short example

Define "active customer" on a Page with owner, synonyms, description, related table, and source links. An agent answering a question about churn can fetch that Page, compute metrics using the referenced table and metric views, and show the Page as a clickable source so the analyst can confirm the definition used.
