Templates for data models can be found for different industries, such as education and learning, healthcare, energy and utilities, banking and financial markets, insurance, telecommunications, retail, aviation, and more others. As a quick FYI, these are often put together by standards bodies or vendors of different systems and databases. They can also go by different names such as a standard data model, industry data model, or industry standard data model (ISDM).

[...] Most of the time, industry standard data models can offer a lot of value, especially when needing them to develop and launch new products and services, but plan for mitigating the associated risks if you're using them as a starting point to map your own business' data model or develop your data warehouse, your own system, and/or enterprise data strategy.
