ExecAtlas delivers the gold standard in executive data to a vendor-neutral framework built for the agentic era of financial services

ExecAtlas, powered by Equilar, today announced at Snowflake's annual user conference, Snowflake Summit 26, that it is a founding member of the Financial Services Working Group under Open Semantic Interchange (OSI).

This open source initiative establishes a universal specification for all financial services organizations to standardize their fragmented data definitions with an open, industry-neutral semantic model specification. By standardizing foundational financial domain objects, the working group provides the common semantic framework required for AI agents to navigate proprietary and market data with the precision, grounding, and auditability essential for the Agentic Era of finance.

OSI is an industry-wide open source initiative to standardize how semantic metadata across analytics, AI and BI platforms is exchanged, providing a vendor neutral, single source of truth. While the universal format provides the structural blueprint, the true value lies in contextualizing these definitions to reflect the unique nuances of specific industries, a movement being led by the financial services sector.

Under this umbrella, the Financial Services Working Group will focus specifically on harmonizing fragmented data definitions within the global financial sector. This specialized effort ensures that proprietary institutional data and third-party market intelligence share a consistent logical layer, providing the high-velocity foundation required for autonomous agents to execute with precision, auditability, and scale.

"Data quality is the defining constraint on AI in financial services, and most organizations are hitting that ceiling right now. ExecAtlas is how we break through it," said David Chun, CEO of Equilar. "We've spent 25 years building a trusted executive data foundation made for this moment. The future of enterprise AI depends on the quality of the data it runs on."

As a founding member of this industry-specific cohort within OSI, ExecAtlas helps define a transparent, community-driven standard for semantic model sharing. This work ensures that critical financial definitions and business metrics remain consistent across the ecosystem, providing the high-fidelity foundation required for secure, agentic execution at scale.

"Unlocking the next era of financial services requires moving beyond data access to a foundation of autonomous execution, and the Open Semantic Interchange is the critical link in that evolution," said John Heisler, Head of AI for Financial Services, Snowflake. "By establishing a vendor-neutral semantic standard with partners like ExecAtlas, we are ensuring that AI agents across the ecosystem ground on the same foundational meanings. This shared vocabulary is essential for eliminating semantic friction, meeting rigorous global compliance, and enabling the high-conviction, agentic workflows that will define the future of the industry."

OSI is poised to revolutionize interoperability within the data and AI ecosystem by providing a transparent, community-driven standard. This collaborative effort under the OSI umbrella establishes the grounded context essential for the next frontier: AI agents executing with precision across the global financial landscape.
