HI Sally,

A short quote on the use of Apache Metamodel within our MDM offering at
Human Inference.

"Apache Metamodel is the core technology used underneath our MDM offering
at Human Inference, providing us an abstraction layer above the different
database schemes we support currently(Postgres/DB2/Oracle/SQL
Server/ElasticSearch etc). The Metamodel query language helps us write code
agnostic of the underlying database. Within our MDM offering we have even
implemented some virtual data stores using Metamodel. These expose our data
model in a custom view for our consultants - stripping away the technical
complexities and exposing the business value in a data model that is
natural for the business people to consume."

Regards
Ankit
