Sure, you'll find a lot of material on the net.

To create a schema, see for example:
http://www.openldap.org/doc/admin24/schema.html
http://www.skills-1st.co.uk/papers/ldap-schema-design-feb-2005/ldap-schema-design-feb-2005.pdf

If you are using dynamic config, you'll need to use slaptest to convert 
your schema to ldif and then to add it to your server config.

Here is that process in short:

# vim /tmp/tempconf.conf

This is what goes in the file:

include /etc/ldap/schema/core.schema
include /etc/ldap/schema/cosine.schema
include /etc/ldap/schema/nis.schema
include /etc/ldap/schema/inetorgperson.schema
include /etc/ldap/schema/misc.schema
include /etc/ldap/schema/newschema.schema

# mkdir /tmp/tempconf.d
# slaptest -f /tmp/tempconf.conf -F /tmp/tempconf.d

Edit the generated file:
# vim /tmp/tempconf.d/cn\=config/cn\=schema/cn\=\{5\}newschema.ldif

Change the three head lines to this:
dn: cn=newschema,cn=schema,cn=config
objectClass: olcSchemaConfig
cn: newschema

Then delete these lines from the bottom of the file:
structuralObjectClass:
entryUUID:
creatorsName:
createTimestamp:
entryCSN:
modifiersName:
modifyTimestamp:

And at last insert the new schema to the ldap tree:

# ldapadd -x -v -D "cn=admin,cn=config" -W -f 
/tmp/tempconf.d/cn\=config/cn\=schema/cn\=\{5\}newschema.ldif
