skeemassa

Skeemassa is the Finnish inessive form of skeema, meaning "in the schema." It designates something that exists within a defined schema or framework and is commonly used in technical or academic contexts. The base term skeema is borrowed from Greek skhēma and has been adopted into Finnish through Latin and Scandinavian languages, where it denotes a structured plan, outline, or model.

In usage, skeemassa describes location or inclusion inside a particular schema. It appears frequently in discussions of data models, database schemas, software architecture, and conceptual frameworks in fields such as information technology, linguistics, and cognitive science. For example, "Tietokannan skeemassa määritellään taulujen rakenteet" translates to "In the database schema, the structures of the tables are defined." Another example is "Skeemassa oleva muutos vaikuttaa kaikkien osien välisiin suhteisiin," meaning that a change within the schema affects the relationships between all parts.

Related forms include skeema (schema) and skeemasta (genitive or ablative forms referring to "from the schema"), as well as skeemat (plural) in broader discussions of multiple schemas. The term skeemassa is mainly found in written and formal Finnish, where precise references to data models and conceptual frameworks are common.
