+  ## Scalar types
+
+  Scalar values are atomic values, and do not have fields of their own.
+  Basic scalars include strings, boolean values, and numbers. This schema also
+  defines various custom scalar values, such as types for times and dates.
+
+  This schema includes custom scalar types for identifiers, with a specific type for
+  each kind of object.
+
+  For more information, read about [Scalar Types](https://graphql.org/learn/schema/#scalar-types) on `graphql.org`.

+  ## Abstract types
+
+  Abstract types (unions and interfaces) are ways the schema can represent
+  values that may be one of several concrete types.
+
+  - A [`Union`](https://graphql.org/learn/schema/#union-types) is a set of possible types.
+    The types might not have any fields in common.
+  - An [`Interface`](https://graphql.org/learn/schema/#interfaces) is a defined set of fields.
+    Types may `implement` an interface, which
+    guarantees that they have all the fields in the set. A type may implement more than
+    one interface.
+
+  See the [GraphQL documentation](https://graphql.org/learn/) for more information on using
+  abstract types.
