+## Schema & Data Objects
+
+All objects have a personal UUID ID, generated automatically by PostgreSQL.
+
+### Sections
+
+Sections group posts according to a common subject or some other metric by
+which they could be grouped. They can be seen as sub-blogs within the larger
+system. Each post can be part of only one section, & posts not part of a
+section will not be shown in the public UI.
+
+A section has a title & optional description, along with a shortname. The
+shortname is what will be used inside URLs for routing.
+
+A section can be part of the default posts list, meaning all posts created in
+this section will be shown on the homepage. The default list is an aggregated
+list containing all default sections.
+
+A section can be private, meaning all posts created in this section will not be
+shown on the any public page without authentification. Furthermore, it can
+specify wether posts should have titles, or are not allowed to. This is to
+allow for creating microblogs, which do not require titles.
+
+### Posts & Versions
+
+A post represents a publication in a specific section. The posts table itself
+only specifies which section a post belongs to & wether or not the post is
+private. Any content of the actual post is stored a a version. A private post
+can only be seen by logged-in users with the right authorization.
+
+Each version has its own publication date, with the last publication being
+shown when visiting the post. The UI however should also expose a way to show
+previous versions of the post. Each version has its own title (if allowed) &
+content. A version can be a draft. This means that the version will not be shown in the public UI, allowing the user to finish it at a later time.
