| A schema defines the structure, permitted content, relationships, values, and constraints for information in a defined representation context. Schemas organise information so that systems, tools, and people interpret information consistently. | A schema defines the structure, permitted content, relationships, values, and constraints for information in a defined representation context.

| Schemas support [[dido:99_annexes:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:s:semantic]] when their elements, names, value types, relationships, constraints, and documentation preserve traceability to defined domain meaning. A schema constrains representation, but domain meaning comes from the associated vocabulary, [[dido:99_annexes:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:c:conceptual_model]], [[dido:99_annexes:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:o:ontology]], rules, or other authoritative semantic source. | Schemas support [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:s:semantic]] when their elements, names, value types, relationships, constraints, and documentation preserve traceability to defined domain meaning.

| A schema differs from an ontology. A schema focuses on representation structure, permitted content, and validation constraints. An ontology focuses on concepts, relationships, distinctions, and semantic commitments within a defined domain. | A schema differs from an ontology.

| Schemas appear in many forms, including XML Schema, JSON Schema, [[dido:99_annexes:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:r:rdf_schema|RDF Schema]], SQL DDL, OpenAPI schemas, Avro schemas, Protobuf schemas, DDS IDL, and message specifications. | Schemas appear in many forms, including XML Schema, JSON Schema, [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:r:rdf_schema|RDF Schema]], SQL DDL, OpenAPI schemas, Avro schemas, Protobuf schemas, DDS IDL, and message specifications. |
