| | Schema - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | In computer science, a schema is a model. |  | | The mental representation of a concept can be assimilation to match an existing schema (representing the concept according to a preexisting schema), or accommodation (modifying an existing schema to adapt to the environment). |  | | This includes only what is required for some narrow range of actions; e.g., a library card catalogue schema asks librarians only to provide enough information about the book to help library users decide if they want to browse through it, and if so, how to find it. |

 | | Factor (8), the developing of a conceptual model on the basis of those relevant constituents, and Factor (9), the physical representation of it, are, in practice, the two proper components of the construction of the conceptual schema. |  | | Conceptual modeling is the description of information systems on the meta-level, where conceptual processes, model constructions and knowledge representations play an essential role. |  | | On the other hand, conceptual modeling can be characterized as an activity the goal of which is to develop higher level concepts, tools and techniques for all areas in computer science. |

 | | A conceptual model is a language that is used to describe conceptual schemas. |  | | Logical Design Input: conceptual schema Output: logical schema Logical schema is a description of the structure of the database that can be processed by the DBMS software. |  | | Physical Design Input: logical schema Output: physical schema A physical schema is a description of the implementation of the database in secondary memory. |

 | | The global conceptual schema needs only to parse and tag the three elements of geospatial information, and it is up to the user or database to restructure them in the way that suits their purposes. |  | | As a result, the primary objective of the global conceptual schema for interoperable geospatial information is to provide a coherent family of constructs representing abstract objects in a structural manner and to encapsulate the structure in these constructs. |  | | With the global conceptual schema, communication among users and databases can be performed by inquiring the content and semantic structures of geospatial information instead of low-level data formats or data structures. |

| | Systematic Hypermedia Application Design with OOHDM |
 | | Nodes are defined as object-oriented views of conceptual classes defined during conceptual design, using a query language similar to the one in [17], allowing a node to be defined by combining attributes of different related classes in the conceptual schema. |  | | In this case the conceptual model is finally implemented using an object-oriented language and navigational classes are instantiated from the framework (see [25, 4]). |  | | Figure 6 shows (a simplified version of) the conceptual schema for the example application, where, for the sake of conciseness, we have not shown all attributes of all classes. |

| | Syntactic and conceptual schemas |
 | | For example, in a relational database, the conceptual schema declares how data is organized into tables and columns, what the data types of each column are, what the primary key / foreign key relationships between the tables are, and so on. |  | | Notice that the storage engine is translating here between the conceptual schema (which uses the concept of table) and the physical schema (which describes how data is stored on disk). |  | | In both cases, an XML schema language (including the DTD language) can be viewed as a conceptual schema language as well as a physical schema language. |
