When MDM Meets Ontology: A New Architecture for Enterprise Data Intelligence w/ Roz King

‍

In this session from the Databricks Data + AI Summit 2026, Roz King, Chief Architect at LakeFusion, explores how Master Data Management and ontology come together to power a new architecture for enterprise data intelligence.

As organizations push to unify fragmented data and make it AI-ready, traditional MDM approaches alone aren't enough. Roz breaks down how pairing MDM with graph-based ontology creates a more flexible, intelligent foundation one built natively on Databricks — for connecting, contextualizing, and activating enterprise data at scale.

‍

Topics covered:

• Why ontology is the missing layer in traditional MDM
• Building a Databricks-native architecture for data intelligence
• How graph relationships enhance master data quality and context
• Practical implications for enterprise data teams
