Semantic model
A semantic model is the Fabric/Power BI data model of tables, relationships, and DAX measures that reports query. DP-600 dedicates a domain to designing, optimizing, and managing semantic models.

Microsoft Fabric
Microsoft Fabric is an end-to-end analytics platform that unifies data engineering, warehousing, data science, and business intelligence on OneLake.
OneLake
OneLake is the single, unified data lake built into Microsoft Fabric that stores all analytics data for the organization.
Lakehouse
A lakehouse is a Fabric analytics store that combines a data lake's storage with a warehouse's structured querying over Delta tables.
Warehouse
A warehouse is a Fabric SQL-based analytics store optimized for structured, T-SQL querying.
Semantic model
A semantic model is the Fabric/Power BI data model of tables, relationships, and DAX measures that reports query.
DAX
DAX (Data Analysis Expressions) is the formula language for calculations in Fabric and Power BI semantic models.
Direct Lake
Direct Lake is a Fabric semantic-model storage mode that queries Delta tables in OneLake directly, combining import speed with DirectQuery freshness.
Star schema
A star schema is a data-modeling pattern with central fact tables related to surrounding dimension tables.
KQL
KQL (Kusto Query Language) is a query language used in Fabric Real-Time Intelligence and Eventhouses.
Shortcut
A OneLake shortcut is a reference that makes data in another location appear in a Fabric item without copying it.
Deployment pipeline
A deployment pipeline in Fabric promotes content across development, test, and production workspaces.
XMLA endpoint
The XMLA endpoint is an interface for deploying and managing semantic models programmatically with tools like Tabular Editor.
Calculation group
A calculation group is a semantic-model feature that reduces measure duplication by applying reusable calculation items.
Sensitivity label
A sensitivity label is a Microsoft Purview classification applied to Fabric items to enforce protection and compliance.
