# Model structure

### Model structure 

Since version 4.0 each model is a **directory** located in "<mark style="color:purple;">**TelosysTools/models**</mark>".

The **directory name** is the **model name**.

A model directory contains&#x20;

* a file "<mark style="color:purple;">**model.yaml**</mark>"&#x20;
* n files "<mark style="color:purple;">**.entity**</mark>" (1 for each entity)

Example : model "**employees**"&#x20;

<pre><code><strong>In "employees" directory:
</strong>- model.yaml (model file)
- Employee.entity (entity file)
- Company.entity (entity file)
- Project.entity (entity file) 
</code></pre>

The "model.yaml" contains basic informations about the model

Each ".entity" file defines an entity, see [Entity](https://doc.telosys.org/models/entity) page for more information about the grammar.
