AI Augmented Data Modeling for Scalable Semantic Layer

Abstract:

This work examines how AI supported techniques are reshaping data modeling for modern data ecosystems. As the scale and complexity of enterprise data continue to grow, traditional manual modeling approaches face limits in speed, consistency, and adaptability. The paper explores how machine learning, natural language processing, and knowledge representation improve core modeling tasks through automated relationship inference, pattern recognition, schema discovery, and metadata enrichment. It highlights the role of ontology based systems, profiling methods, and virtual knowledge graphs in building semantic clarity across diverse data assets. The study also reviews advanced applications such as real time schema drift detection, predictive performance optimization, and intelligent normalization guided by actual workload behavior. Integration with DevOps pipelines enables continuous refinement and validation of evolving models. The findings show how AI enhanced methods help organizations move from concept level modeling to production ready semantic layers that stay aligned with changing business and technical requirements.
