Tokenpedia Defining terms for design tokens

Schema

The pattern expected to construct a token name using levels and delimiters.

purpose.priority.property

This is the basic schema for an intent. The words are the levels and the . character is the delimiter separating the levels, making them easier to read.

Tip

A token schema should be determined early to help inform the expectation of token construction and how they are meant to support user interface concepts. Well-formed schemas have predictable patterns and concise levels.
