8 Dgraph Data Model

This section introduces basic concepts associated with the schema of records in the Dgraph, and describes how data is structured and configured in the Dgraph data model. When a Data Processing workflow runs, a resulting data set is created in the Dgraph. The records in this data set, as well as their attributes, are discussed in this section.

• About the data model
  The data model in the Dgraph consists of data sets, records, and attributes.
• Data records
  Records are the fundamental units of data in the Dgraph.
• Attributes
  An attribute is the basic unit of a record schema. Assignments from attributes (also known as key-value pairs) describe records in the Dgraph.
• Supported languages
  The Dgraph uses a language code to identify a language for a specific attribute.
