Data modeling layer to enable GUIs for creating queries

[howardmalec]

Data customers often have varying degrees of familiarity with SQL. Some BI tools allow analysts to code data models for common analytical patterns. These models can power click and drop GUIs that are used by customers who aren't familiar with SQL to create queries for custom data analysis. In addition to enabling analysis for users without SQL skills, the data modeling helps to enforce data quality and governance.

Looker's data modeling layer (along with blocks) is a practical example of this.
