Schema definition items can be placed in any folder in a particular store and then used to define schemas for your application. By setting the schema-collection-ref and baseschema properties for various folders appropriately, you can bring these definitions into scope.
To avoid complexity when designing and managing your application's schema, plan and organize your schema information. For example, create folders under your top application folder that are designated as schema folders. The following illustration shows a single schema folder under the application folder.

The following table lists possible URLs to the folders in the preceding illustration.
| Folder display name | Example URL |
|---|---|
| application | file://./backofficestorage/domain.example.com/public folders/application/ |
| schema | file://./backofficestorage/domain.example.com/public folders/application/schema/ |
By placing all schema definition items in designated folders, you decrease the complexity of managing and debugging your application's schema. This is shown in the following illustration.

Arrange the hierarchy of application and schema folders any way you want. As you refine your application, organization is easier with additional schema subfolders.
