{"slug": "show-hn-alternative-to-nvidia-auto-ontology", "title": "Show HN: Alternative to Nvidia Auto-Ontology", "summary": "A new open repository offers an alternative to Nvidia Auto-Ontology's ontology-compiling capabilities, building ontologies from existing data assets such as transformation code, dashboards and documentation rather than from the warehouse and semantic layer alone. The project uses skills and Python scripts to ingest team metadata and docs and compile them into YAML and Markdown files arranged in a file tree that an agent can use as context to query data, and it writes down questions for the team when existing assets contradict or reveal gaps in business context instead of guessing a plausible meaning. The tool runs locally in any coding agent and was posted to Hacker News as a Show HN submission with 1 point and 0 comments.", "body_md": "This repo provides an alternative to the ontology compiling capabilities of NVIDA Auto-Ontology.\n\nThe main difference is that it builds the ontology from most of your existing data assets (transformation code, dashboards, docs), instead of building it from your warehouse and semantic layer only.\n\nIt consists in skills and python scripts that ingest the metadata and docs your team already has, and compile them into YAML and Markdown files structured in a file tree that an agent can use as context to query your data.\n\nWhen your existing asset contradict, or reveal a gap in the business context around your data, it writes down questions for you and your team instead of guessing a plausible meaning.\n\nIt runs locally in any coding agent.\n\nComments URL: [https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=50363667](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=50363667)\n\nPoints: 1\n\n# Comments: 0", "url": "https://wpnews.pro/news/show-hn-alternative-to-nvidia-auto-ontology", "canonical_source": "https://github.com/GetCassis/ontology-skills", "published_at": "2026-11-04 10:37:49+00:00", "updated_at": "2026-11-04 10:50:29.542309+00:00", "lang": "en", "topics": ["ai-agents", "ai-tools", "structured-data", "developer-tools"], "entities": ["Nvidia", "Nvidia Auto-Ontology", "Hacker News"], "also_reported_by": [], "alternates": {"html": "https://wpnews.pro/news/show-hn-alternative-to-nvidia-auto-ontology", "markdown": "https://wpnews.pro/news/show-hn-alternative-to-nvidia-auto-ontology.md", "text": "https://wpnews.pro/news/show-hn-alternative-to-nvidia-auto-ontology.txt", "jsonld": "https://wpnews.pro/news/show-hn-alternative-to-nvidia-auto-ontology.jsonld"}}
