It covers both the logical description of data shapes and constraints (the schema) and the physical or in-memory organization of data (the data structure). By aligning these aspects, schemasstructures aims to improve data integrity, interoperability, and performance across applications and storage systems.
Core ideas include mapping rules between schema definitions and concrete data structures, such as how a relational
Applications span database design, API contracts, data interchange formats, and programming language ecosystems. For example, JSON
Challenges include drift between schema and structure, backward compatibility, and tool support for cross-system consistency. When
