Looker is a web-based Business Intelligence platform that features a data modeling layer enabling users to describe and transform raw data so it can be understood and used by employee, partners, and customers.

LookML is a language for describing dimensions, aggregates, calculations, and data relationships in a SQL database. A LookML project is a collection of model, view, and dashboard files that are typically version controlled together via a Git repository. The model files contain information about which tables to use, and how they should be joined together. The view files contain information about how to calculate information about each table (or across multiple tables if the joins permit them). LookML separates structure from content, so the query structure (how tables are joined) is independent of the query content (the columns to access, derived fields, aggregate functions to compute, and filtering expressions to apply).
