# dbt-semantic-interfaces

This repo contains the shared semantic classes, default validation, and tests designed to be used by both the dbt-core and MetricFlow projects. By centralizing these shared resources, we aim to maintain consistency and reduce code duplication across both projects.

## Features
- Protocols for shared semantic classes: Define the interfaces and common attributes that must be implemented by the objects in both projects.
- Validation: Ensure that the objects comply with the expected structure and constraints.
- Tests: Ensure that the objects' behavior is consistent and correct across both projects.

## Contributing
We welcome contributions to improve this codebase! If you're interested in...

## AI interpretation — verify before relying

Provides shared semantic layer definitions and validation protocols used by dbt-core and MetricFlow to maintain consistency across both projects.

Verdict: A stable, low-friction library providing shared semantic definitions for the dbt ecosystem. No known security issues and permissive licensing make it safe to adopt. The 184-day release age and Beta status suggest it is mature but not actively evolving; suitable for projects already committed to dbt-core or MetricFlow.
