Schema
A defined structure describing which fields, types, and relationships data should have.
Example
A schema requires every extracted invoice to contain a date, vendor, and total.
Why it matters
It helps connected systems interpret information consistently and catch mismatches early.
You'll hear it
“This record is missing a required field.”
Can you control it?

Common questions
- Does matching the schema prove the data is accurate?
- No. Correct structure can contain incorrect values.
- Can changing a schema break an existing connection?
- Yes. Another system may still expect the old fields or types.
- Must every field always be required?
- No. A schema can distinguish required information from optional details.
