# Use Namespacing for Organizing Data
Much like relational databases, DeltaStream uses [databases](https://docs.deltastream.io/overview/core-concepts/databases "mention")s and namespaces for logically organizing data, regardless of the [store](https://docs.deltastream.io/overview/core-concepts/store "mention") in which the data resides.
You can use this logical separation to namespace [queries](https://docs.deltastream.io/overview/core-concepts/queries "mention") statements based on the scope of the query and what stores are involved. This is of particular value when your stores are accessible by more than one team and you require collaboration on the data.
All DeltaStream objects are hosted in a database and namespace. Here's how to use this framework to organize your data:
## Create a Database
In addition to [store](https://docs.deltastream.io/how-do-i.../create-and-manage-data-stores/store "mention"), you must also create a database to process data. To do this:
1. In the lefthand navigation, click **Workspace** (  ). Then, to the right of **Database**, click **+**, and then **Database**.
Adding a Database
2. At the prompt, enter a unique name for the database and then click **Add**.
The new database displays in the **Database** list of available databases.
## Using Database Namespaces
You can use namespaces to further organize objects within a database. This makes it possible to manage complex projects.
Here's an example: refining your `pageviews` events before you share them with your business analytics team for further analysis.
1. Aggregate the page visits for each user and write that into a `my-db.analytics.user_visits` stream:
Aggregating Page Visits as a Stream
2. Use the new `page_visits` stream and enrich it with the user’s latest location for a full picture on how your users are visiting pages on your website.\
Here, you're using your users’ [#\_changelog](https://docs.deltastream.io/overview/core-concepts/databases#_changelog "mention") object to get the location information.
3. Write this into the analytics team’s public namespace in the `analytics-db`, `analytics-ds.public.user_visit_location`:
Writing User Location Results
## Reducing Clutter and Taming the Chaos
Using databases and namespaces, you can reduce clutter in the `analytics-db` . To do this:
1. Refine the necessary data in the `my-db` database.
2. Use the refinement to push an enriched set of records to the `public` namespace of the `analytics-db`.

**Tip** This namespacing approach enables you to organize where to write data into and where it resides, while also ensuring the right consumer can access it across your company.
