I just wondering whether the Business object universe is a concept similar to SSRS DAta source view? Can anybody compare the difference /similarity between these 2 tools?

SQL Server Reporting Services reports themselves do not have a "Data Source View". Reporting Services used to have a feature called Report Models that was similar in some respects to the BO Universe (and did use something called a Data Source View) but this has been deprecated from SQL Server 2012 onwards. A more comparable feature for SQL Server 2012 would be the BI Semantic Model, which is used by Microsoft's Power View visualisation tool.
If you are looking for a comparison between SSRS and Business Objects Crystal Reports, there is one here.
