General availability of the Microsoft Fabric IQ Ontology item enables teams to maintain a shared model of business entities, properties, and relationships in Fabric. Modelers can connect those definitions to supported data sources and provide business context to supported analytics and agent experiences. The release covers the ontology item and its supported capabilities; individual integrations, security features, and advanced modeling capabilities retain their own release milestones.

\nNamespaces in Microsoft Fabric IQ Ontology provide a visual way to organize entity types and relationships into meaningful groups. The authoring experience makes it easier to work with ontologies that span multiple teams or business domains, distinguish concepts with the same name, and understand how each concept is organized.With this experience, you can:
\nThe full Ontology canvas experience in Microsoft Fabric IQ brings the complete ontology into a single interactive view, showing entity types and the relationships between them. It makes the overall structure easier to understand while keeping connected parts of the ontology in context.With this experience, you can:
\nChange your Ontology with confidence. Every saved version is listed newest-first with its timestamp, author, and description, so teams building an Ontology together can always see what changed, who changed it, and roll back to any earlier state.
