# How to model complex data types in Azure Cognitive Search
1616

17-
External datasets used to populate an Azure Cognitive Search index can come in many shapes. Sometimes they include hierarchical or nested substructures. Examples might include multiple addresses for a single customer, multiple colors and sizes for a single SKU, multiple authors of a single book, and so on. In modeling terms, you might see these structures referred to as *complex*, *compound*, *composite*, or *aggregate* data types. The term Azure Cognitive Search uses for this concept is **complex type**. In Azure Cognitive Cognitive Search, complex types are modeled using **complex fields**. A complex field is a field that contains children (sub-fields) which can be of any data type, including other complex types. This works in a similar way as structured data types in a programming language.

Complex fields represent either a single object in the document, or an array of objects, depending on the data type. Fields of type `Edm.ComplexType` represent single objects, while fields of type `Collection(Edm.ComplexType)` represent arrays of objects.

With that information in hand, your first step in the wizard is to create a new Azure Cosmos DB data source. Further on in the wizard, when you get to the target index page, you'll see an index with complex types. Create and load this index, and then execute queries to understand the new structure.
