Abstract
Due to the fast growing of data in the digital world, not only in volume but also in its variety (structured, un-structured or hybrid), traditional RDBMS are complemented with a rich set of systems, known as NoSQL. One of the main categories of NoSQL databases are document stores which are specifically designed to handle semi-structured data, for instance XML documents. In this paper, we present a modeling method for semi-structured data based on Conceptual Graphs and exemplify the method on an XML document. The expressive power of Conceptual Graphs makes them particularly suitable for conceptual modeling of semi-structured data.

Due to obvious space reasons, we have not included the complete XML schema (referred as UniversityXSD in the following) and the corresponding XML document, but they can be consulted at http://www.cs.ubbcluj.ro/~fca/semistructured-data/.
