On this learn.microsoft page , a semantic model is defined as follows:
Each semantic model represents a single source of data. For example, the source could be an Excel workbook on OneDrive, an on-premises SQL Server Analysis Services tabular dataset, or a Google Analytics dataset.
While not necessarily incorrect, isn't this a misleading way to define a semantic model? A semantic model could be from a single excel workbook, but it could also be from a multiple excel workbooks, a smartsheet, a snowflake database, and a sharepoint all at once. In my mind, a semantic model does not represent a single source of data, it rather represents a single data model. Or am I missing something?

Hi. It make sense. It's not for specifically a "single" one. It could say "Each semantic model represents multiple sources of data. For example...."
Just in case you don't know, you can open the learns doc and suggest the change at the pencil "edit". You only need a github account and you can commit and pull the request for the change. A team will review the approval to check if that improves the doc.
Let us know if you would try that or should we.
Regards
Happy to help!
