- Title: Intro to CMDB Query Builder with Reporting - Performance Analytics Academy - Aug 12, 2020
- Video URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7RtmeeBdI5A
- Playlist position: 85
- Frameworks discussed: CMDB
- Evidence basis: YouTube MCP playlist metadata and title only; transcript retrieval failed in this session.

## Short summary
Title indicates reporting, query, or search mechanics over CMDB/CSDM data rather than ontology design directly, but it still shows which model relationships practitioners need to interrogate.

## Key mapping concepts
- Query patterns over modeled relationships
- Operational demand for navigable service and application links
- Analytics use cases that expose where ontology precision matters

## Notable terminology used
- CMDB
- Query Builder

## What still seems valid
The need to query across modeled relationships still looks valid and reinforces the requirement for explicit ontology paths instead of ad hoc joins.

## What appears outdated or version-specific
Version markers in the title suggest partial obsolescence: 2020. Treat specific product behavior, screenshots, and release claims as historical rather than current guidance.

## Transcript
Transcript retrieval was not available from the YouTube MCP server in this session. Direct `youtube_get_transcript` calls returned `401`, and a bulk playlist transcript request returned `0` items on 2026-03-26.

## Relevance to current ontology work
Medium relevance. Query and reporting sessions reveal which traversals and joins users expect the ontology to support cleanly.
