A database schema is the blueprint that defines the database structure. The schema tells the database engine, the program that runs the database, how to put and get information in a database. The schema provides the framework for the database operations and contents.
The first part is conceptual schema (the CSDL file). Entity Framework uses this schema to allow developers to construct .NET queries against an object-based model that this schema defines. In the second part of the metadata you can see the mapping schema (MSL file).
