The Ontological Definition of Databricks Genie Ontology via OntoRank

One of the biggest announcements at Data + AI Summit 2026 was the preview of Genie Ontology. Essentially giving Genie One a turbo boost to allow it to infer context, glorious context, from any snippet of information it can get it's hands on.

And what, if not an ontology, actually is it? In this video Simon dives into the Genie Ontology release, OntoRank, the algorithm behind it, and the change that this new product is going to bring to your organisations and the tired idea of Ontologies themselves!
