I exported a powerbi Desktop as a template and started looking at the resutling filles, DataModelSchema in particular
Reviewing the json, there is a bit I was able to understand, but equally, lots I have not been able to understand. Is there any documentation regarding this?
I am interested in interpretation of this section:
specifically, the Enitities and Relationships, which expand to:
Where an entity expands to:
which is a column in one of my tables, but what does each of these metadata mean ? What does the Type/State/Weight mean? How does it impact the file?
Similarly, Relationships expands to:
Is there a place where I can get a definition of each of the keys in these key:value pairs when I expand it further (ie wha is Target?, what is Subject/Object mean? what does State: Generated mean?,
Solved! Go to Solution.
HI @Anonymous,
AFAIK, power bi data model is based on AS tabular instance. If you want to know more about this scheme and its properties, you can take a look at the following links:
Tabular Object Model (TOM) in AMO | Microsoft Docs
