Schema data types

Define the kind of data (Boolean, alphanumeric, datetime, etc.) that can be stored in an attribute. An attribute is (in most cases) a single piece of user information found in an user profile. The user's first name (givenName) is one attribute, and the user's last name (familyName) is a second attribute.
