schemas
Outlines for organizing
Schemas are structured frameworks for organizing information or understanding.
In psychology, a schema is a mental pattern that shapes how we interpret experiences: Her schema for "restaurant" includes waiting to be seated.
In computing and databases, a schema defines how data is structured—the blueprint specifying tables, fields, and relationships.
The singular is schema; schemata is an alternative plural in technical contexts.
