Semantic Layer and Data Access

The SAP BusinessObjects universe is the semantic layer that resides between an organization’s database and the end-user. More importantly, it is a business representation of your data warehouse or transactional database.

The universe enables users to interact with data without having to know the complexities of the database or how the data is stored. The universe is created using familiar business terminology to describe the business environment, and allows the user to retrieve exactly the data that interests them.
