ABOUT THE TALK:
Forcing data through a rectangle shapes the way we solve problems (for example, dimensional fact tables, OLAP Cubes).
Most Data isn’t rectangular it rather exists in hierarchies (orders, items, products, users). Most query results are better returned as a hierarchy (category, brand, product).
Malloy is a new experimental data programming language that, among other things, breaks the rectangle paradigm and several other long held misconceptions in the way we analyze data.
In this talk, Lloyd Tabb shares the ideas behind the Malloy language, semantic data modeling, and his vision for the future of data.
