Fabric Monday 106: Graph Objects and Queries
πΈοΈ Your Data Has Relationships. Does Your Platform Speak Graph?
Most platforms treat data as rows and columns.
But your business runs on connections β customers, orders, products, routes, events.
Microsoft Fabric Graph changes the game.
π¦ Graph Model: define nodes and edges directly over your OneLake lakehouse tables β no data duplication, no fragile ETL pipelines
π Graph QuerySet: save, organize, and share GQL queries β so your graph insights are reusable, not throwaway playgrounds
βοΈ GQL (ISO/IEC 39075): the ISO-standardized graph query language β if you know SQL, you'll feel right at home
But here's where it gets exciting π
Graph Objects are the foundation for the new Fabric Ontology β the semantic layer that teaches Fabric how your business actually talks.
Entity types like Customer, Order, and Shipment are defined once, bound to real data in OneLake, and exposed as a queryable graph β ready for both humans and AI agents to reason across domains.
No more stitching three query languages by hand.
No more inconsistent definitions across teams.
One shared vocabulary. One graph. One source of meaning.
βΆοΈ Watch the full video to see Graph Objects and Graph QuerySets in action β and how they become the backbone of Fabric Ontology.
