The database schema is the structure of a database described in a formal language supported typically by a relational database management system (RDBMS). The term "schema" refers to the organization of data as a blueprint of how the database is constructed (divided into database tables in the case of relational databases).

[1] The three-schema approach, or three-schema concept, in software engineering is an approach to building information systems and systems information management that originated in the 1970s.
A diagram is a partial graphic representation of a system's model. The set of diagrams need not completely cover the model and deleting a diagram does not change the model. The model may also contain documentation that drives the model elements and diagrams (such as written use cases). UML diagrams represent two different views of a system ...

Conceptual schema. A conceptual schema or conceptual data model is a high-level description of informational needs underlying the design of a database. [1][2] It typically includes only the core concepts and the main relationships among them. This is a high-level model with insufficient detail to build a complete, functional database. [3] It ...
Entity–relationship model. An entity–attribute-relationship diagram for an MMORPG using Chen's notation. An entity–relationship model (or ER model) describes interrelated things of interest in a specific domain of knowledge.
