What is a data model data-model-start

A data model is a set of schemas, audiences, and the links between them. It is used to federate audiences with databases data.

In Federated Audience Composition, you can create and manage data models directly in the Canvas view. This includes adding schemas and audiences, as well as defining the links between them based on your use case.

Learn more about schemas and audiences.

For example, you can see below a representation of a data model: the tables with their name and the links between them.
