Schema types
You can create different types of Schemas: Component Schemas, Multimedia Schemas, Metadata Schemas, Embeddable Schemas and Parameter Schemas.
| Schema Type | Description |
|---|---|
| Schema | Components are based on Schemas. Component Schemas can be simple or complex. |
| Multimedia Schema | Multimedia Components are based on Multimedia Schemas. Multimedia Schemas define the types of binary data a Multimedia Component can contain, and may define metadata fields for the Multimedia Component. Multimedia Schemas cannot be complex. |
| Metadata Schema | Metadata Schemas define a set of fields so that you can add metadata to the following items:

| Embeddable Schema | Embeddable Schemas can be embedded in any other Schema. Embeddable Schemas are useful when you want to define field structures that are used in multiple Schemas. |
| Parameter Schema | Parameter Schemas define the parameters that are required by a Template or Template Building Block when invoked within a Compound Template.
|
| Bundle Schema | Bundle Schemas define metadata fields, an associated Workflow Process and dissolving behavior (all of which are optional) for Bundles. End users select a Bundle Schema (also called a Bundle Type) when they create a Bundle. |
| Region Schema | Region Schemas define a Region on a Page. This includes the Page itself, which is a root-level Region. When a Region Schema defines a Page, it is also called a Page Schema.
A Region Schema defines the following things about a Region:
