schemabuilding
Schemabuilding is the structured process of designing and implementing schemas that define the structure, types, constraints, and relationships of data within a system. It covers traditional relational databases, document stores, XML and JSON formats, and semantic knowledge graphs. The objective is to ensure data integrity, enable efficient querying, support interoperability across systems, and enforce governance rules.
A schema specifies the organization of data at different levels. Conceptual schemas model high-level domains and
The schema-building process typically includes requirements gathering, domain analysis, modeling, mapping to an implementation format, and
Schema languages and tools vary by domain. Relational databases use SQL Data Definition Language; JSON Schema
Practical challenges include balancing normalization with performance, maintaining compatibility during changes, ensuring data quality, and aligning
Schemabuilding yields clearer data contracts, improved data quality, easier integration, and scalable data architecture. Related topics
