Make the spec's own examples validate against osi-schema.json (#209)
Four fixes, each aligning an example with a rule the schema already
states:

- The Semantic Model section example used datasets: [], violating the
  schema's minItems: 1; it now carries one minimal dataset.
- Both metric examples (total_revenue, avg_orders) wrote expression as a
  bare list, omitting the required dialects wrapper that the Expression
  Object section above them defines; they now match the schema and the
  Complete Example.
- The Complete Example presented a full document without the required
  top-level version key; it now begins with version: 0.2.0.dev0.
- spec.yaml's commented primary_key examples showed a nested list
  (- [customer_id]) while the schema defines primary_key as a flat array
  of strings; the comments now show the flat form the schema and
  spec.md's own examples use.

Verified by extracting each fixed example and running it through
validation/validate.py (schema, uniqueness, references and sqlglot
checks): all pass, including the Complete Example verbatim.

Apache Ossie (incubating)

Apache Ossie is a collaborative, open-source effort dedicated to standardizing and streamlining semantic model exchange and utilization across the diverse array of tools and platforms within the data analytics, AI, and BI ecosystem. Our shared vision is to establish a common, vendor-agnostic semantic model specification, promoting unparalleled interoperability, efficiency, and collaboration among all participants. By providing a single, consistent source of truth, this vendor-agnostic standard ensures that your data's definitions and value remain consistent as they are interchanged between AI agents, BI platforms, and all other tools in your ecosystem, eliminating inconsistencies across your different tools.

Apache Ossie was formerly known as Open Semantic Interchange (OSI).

Apache Ossie provides a single JSON- and YAML-based specification that any tool can read and write, addressing the semantic fragmentation common across today's data stack: the same KPI defined differently across tools, teams spending significant effort manually reconciling definitions, and AI agents producing unreliable outputs grounded in inconsistent business logic.

What's in this repository

  • core-spec/ — The Ossie core specification (spec.md), the machine-readable schema (spec.yaml, osi-schema.json), and accompanying documentation.
