Innovations in data models have spurred progress by creating new mental tools for us to think about data and to communicate with machines and with each other. Scientists and engineers who become well-versed in effective data models can collaborate more efficiently because they share a common conceptual framework.

**This book focuses on DataJoint**, a data model that reinterprets relational database theory through the lens of **computational workflows**. While rooted in classical relational concepts, DataJoint introduces new constructs and semantics specifically designed for scientific computing, where tracking provenance and maintaining computational validity are as important as storing and querying data.
