schematise

Reduce to outline

Schematise is the British spelling of schematize—to arrange or represent something according to a schema or systematic plan.

To schematise is to reduce something complex to a simplified diagram or framework: The textbook schematises the nervous system into three major divisions.

The word carries a faintly technical or academic tone.
