For me, it seems obvious that we talk about the schema of the instance
data (content). (The other schema defining the format of the instance
data file is fixed and it would be pointless to include it.) Anyway,
we should look at the existing definitions. RFC 8342 defines:

   o  datastore schema: The combined set of schema nodes for all modules
      supported by a particular datastore, taking into consideration any
      deviations and enabled features for that datastore.

So perhaps you want to define the term 'instance data schema' or
something like that. Within the model, however, I would prefer to use
simple and short names, that is s/target/schema/.
