Phase 1: Schema & Data Modeling

Define your data foundation before writing any code.

Purpose

Phase 1 establishes the data layer that everything else builds on. Poor data modeling leads to costly refactors later.

Actions

Deliverables

1. Terminology Glossary - Project-wide term definitions
2. Entity List - All data entities with descriptions
3. ERD (Entity Relationship Diagram) - Visual entity relationships
4. Field Definitions - Per-entity field specs (name, type, constraints)
5. Schema Document - docs/01-plan/schema.md

Process

Step 1: Define Terminology

Create a glossary of domain terms used across the project:

| Term | Definition | Korean | Example |
|------|-----------|--------|---------|
| User | Person with an account | 사용자 | john@example.com |
| Post | Content created by a user | 게시글 | Blog article |
| Comment | Response to a post | 댓글 | Feedback on article |

Step 2: Identify Entities

List all data entities:

## Entities
- User: Account holder (email, name, role)
- Post: User-generated content (title, body, status)
- Comment: Feedback on posts (body, author)
- Tag: Content categorization (name, slug)

Step 3: Define Relationships

User 1--* Post       (one user has many posts)
Post 1--* Comment    (one post has many comments)
User 1--* Comment    (one user has many comments)
Post *--* Tag        (many-to-many via PostTag)

Step 4: Field Specifications

For each entity, define fields:

### User
| Field | Type | Required | Unique | Default | Description |
|-------|------|----------|--------|---------|-------------|
| id | UUID | Yes | Yes | auto | Primary key |
| email | String(255) | Yes | Yes | - | Login email |
| name | String(100) | Yes | No | - | Display name |
| role | Enum | Yes | No | 'user' | user/admin |
| created_at | DateTime | Yes | No | now() | Creation time |

Step 5: Validation Rules

Define business rules per entity:

• Email must be valid format
• Name must be 2-100 characters
• Role must be one of: user, admin
• Post title must be 1-200 characters

Schema Patterns

See references/schema-patterns.md for common patterns:

• Soft delete pattern
• Audit trail pattern
• Multi-tenancy pattern
• Polymorphic associations
