Different schema definition languages support this architecture in different ways. Some languages, like XML Schema and Relax NG, support modularity and allow parts of a schema to be defined in separate files. This makes it possible to reuse parts of a schema in different projects, and to encapsulate changes to a schema in a single place. Other languages, like DTDs and W3C XML Schema, do not directly support modularity, but can be used in a modular way by defining modules in separate files and using external entity references to include them in a main schema file.<\/p>\n

A schema is a blueprint or a plan that helps to design and build a database. There are different schema definition languages that help to support this architecture, such as the Entity Relationship Diagram (ERD), the Unified Modeling Language (UML), and the Object Role Modeling (ORM).<\/p>\n

How do different schema definition languages support the three schema architectures? <\/h2>\n

In a three schema approach, most data-related description languages or tools associated with schemas focus on the “physical level” and “view level”, with the “conceptual level” mostly used in combining the schema design itself. In relational databases, the physical model is explained using SQL DDL.<\/p>\n

The need for mappings between schema levels appears due to visualization and schema matching. This mapping helps in different types of transformation. A Database Management System has three schema levels; Physical or internal schema, Conceptual or logical schema and External or view level schema.<\/p>\n
