Besides the MongoDB article suggested by Roger, I also recommend this book: Semistructured Database Design http://www.springer.com/computer/security+and+cryptology/book/978-0-387-23567-7 Yes, it is expensive, but it is the only book I that I know about which discusses in depth data modeling, including normalization, in semistructured databases (a.k.a. document databases, but semistructured or semi-structured are the terms used in research since the 1990s).
