Quotes of the Episode:

1. "...I think whilst we're still maybe in the very early stages of semantic layers and things like that, I think it's definitely something to watch out for in the future." - David
2. "...You need something that's going to give it context, but you also need something that's going to give it constraint, and that's kind of like what's really good about a semantic layer." - David
