schema for records

A set of metadata that describes the data model for your records. During the data modeling process, a data architect for the application powered by Endeca Latitude defines the schema for records. For example, the schema defines which of your attributes are searchable. It also defines display names for the attributes on your records, and other characteristics.

A schema for your data records is itself represented by records. However, unlike data records which have attributes describing your data, schema records have attributes that describe the schema.
