# What is a Model

The data model in Verb defines what tables will be available to use on collections (dashboards and APIs) and establishes relationships that connect tables across data sources. You may also create data transformations and store these as new views in the model or add them as columns to existing tables.

If you're modeling with [Unstructured Data ](/models/advanced-model-information/unstructured-data.md)Verb treats each object as a table so that relationships can be created across sources.
