Schemas

What is Schema?

A schema is a structured framework or template that defines the format and specific data fields required for a credential. In the context of credential issuance, a schema acts as a blueprint that outlines the information needed to verify the credential’s purpose and validity.

For example (default schemas):

  • A Work Certificate schema might include fields like the employee’s name, job title, and employment dates.
  • An Educational Certificate schema may require the student’s name, institution, course of study, and graduation date.
