Data Field¶
A Data Field is description of a type of data item. This may be a simple type of value - such as a name, or a more complex structure such as an address.
Data fields can appear in Data Dictionaries and Data Specifications. They can be used to manufacture Schemas to define concrete data artifacts for deployment.
