Many organizations are starting to store data in XML and using XML as an intermediate format for publication and use of these documents. Most database systems have support for storing data in XML or internally representing XML data for storage. However, XML does not have a suitable mechanism for intuitively creating a conceptual model for the data and cannot automatically or semi-automatically generate the schema for the actual data storage. The area of designing conceptual modeling techniques for XML is still not adequately explored in literature. In this paper we describe the XER (Extensible Entity-Relationship) model, a conceptual modeling approach that can describe XML document structures in a simple visual form reminiscent of the ER model, and has the capability to automatically generate XML document type definitions and schema from such structures.
