Database Schema area
What is a schema?
The "schema" of an Emdros database consists of the enumerations, object types, and monad sets created as "meta-data" in the database.
An object type could be, e.g., "Word", "Phrase", "Clause", "Verse", "Line", etc., and the designer of the database has determined these when he or she created the Emdros database.
An enumeration is a set of labels that can be used for easy mnemonic access to commonly used values. Examples could include "noun", "verb", "adjective", etc. for the enumeration "part_of_speech".
