This is database schema according to my guess. Is this the context used here?
A rather loose definition could be a "schematic of database". Would it be appropriate here?

yes and yes. If you do a google search of "database schema" and clik on images. This will become very clear.
Database schemas will contain:
-list of tables, and what fields they contain
-list of fields, and what kind of data they contain. (numeric, text, etc..)
-constraints on the data (uniqueness, range, list of values to select from)
-fields that are a reference to a record of another table.
-indexes to make looking up data easier.
-security access and user information
-often a way to add code to a database (user defined functions, stored procedures).

and you should be able to find that in an elasticsearch index in some form

Here's some new insights.
