Hi Denes,
Sounds like you are trying to define Domains, which are a good idea.
Many modelling tools will allow you to define an attribute's
properties by referencing a particular Domain. EG. a description
domain might be VARCHAR(100), NULL, etc so all description fields
linked to the Domain would be identical.
Is your example showing a Field that can exist (as a definition at
least) without a table ? If yes, then you could call it a Domain
definition.
Sounds interesting.
