    A schema defines the contents of at least one input that you intend to map or one output you intend to map.
  - Subtypes
  - Schema hierarchy
  - Defining data
  - Objects, types, and classes
  - Testing part of a schema
    You can test a schema by generating test data for an item or a group. The schema designer creates source and compiled maps that generate and validate the test data. The test-data-generation map automatically runs and produces a text file with the sample data. After that, the test-data-validation map automatically runs on the sample data file.
