How to manage schema metadata?

We record discovery metadata of our datasets in a third-party software, however, we are concerned that we do not currently have an effective way of recording data schema metadata. This would clearly define what each attribute in a dataset is, and for instance how the values were calculated and their intended purpose.

In practice how do other users manage their schema metadata?

Is there a specific ESRI tool to support this?

What is best practice - are there standards for capturing schemas?

You could start with this export tool: https://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/latest/help/data/geodatabases/overview/schema-report.htm

Then add additional information for your reference.
