I'm not sure what you're really asking.
TDB is a particular triplestore, part of Jena, and you don't need any
Scheme at all to use it. It stores RDF (Subject, predicate, Object) triples
[1] and the program [2] using TDB can store, retrieve, and delete
triples as it wishes.
You can if you wish write an RDFS (RDF Schema) or OWL description of
whatever RDF vocabulary you have defined, but TDB istself won't
do anything with it.

I think you need a better question first.

[1] Well actually quads for allowing multiple graphs in one TDB, but let's
not worry about that right now.
[2] Only one program [process] can talk directly to a particular TDB at
a time. But that program can serve RDF to multiple clients; for
example, Jena Fuseki.
