Unless I missed something, this was just recently announced so if anyone 
says they have experience with it, I would argue that this is a bit of a 
stretch.

 From what I've read and seen I would say it's kind of an non-RDF R2RML 
mapper on top of tables. Similar to what Palantir Foundry does, they 
also talk about ontologies without meaning RDF ontologies. And in both 
systems, the data does not really live in a graph, at least not behind 
the scenes.

There is also this vibe-coded thing here:

https://github.com/microsoft/Ontology-Playground

Which at least talks about RDF import/export (I have not tried).

What it does do IMO is validate that we the Semantic Web people were 
right all the time :-D

How useful it will be in regards to true web standards like RDF remains 
to be seen, to early to tell IMO.
