Schemas : in-Platform Walkthrough

Note: This portion will be a demo. Follow the instructor as they proceed to review an existing Schema

A schema is a set of rules that represent and validate the structure and format of data. At a high level, schemas provide an abstract definition of a real-world object (such as a person) and outline what data should be included in each instance of that object (such as first name, last name, birthday, and so on).

In addition to describing the structure of data, schemas apply constraints and expectations to data so it can be validated as it moves between systems. These standard definitions allow data to be interpreted consistently, regardless of origin, and remove the need for translation across applications.
