# Create a Semantic Model from a Tableau Published Data Source (PDS)

Connect Tableau Published Data Sources (PDS) directly to the Semantic Layer to explore Tableau Next using your existing Tableau content, without any data or metadata migration.

This integration allows you to create a semantic model in Data 360 by connecting it directly to a Published Data Source (PDS) in Tableau Cloud. The PDS serves as the external data definition and query source for the semantic model.

This feature is available for Tableau Next customers only.
