hello,

I'm new to mongo and really like what I see. Our business processes
claims for the health care industry and a document-oriented database
is right in our wheelhouse. A prototype application has been written
(in Python) and everyone likes what they see. My question is, how do
I document the layout of my documents that are stored in my
collections? As you might imagine, health claims (and eligibility,
benefits, etc.) are complex documents with lots of sub-documents. I'd
like to get things documented (probably in Sphinx) so the team
creating reports will know where to look for specific data.

Thanks for your help,

UML (if you are familiar with that) can represent these structures
well, for example strong aggregation can be used to represent
embedding, regular associations for linking, directed associations for
one way associations etc.

I use Magic Draw http://www.magicdraw.com/ but there are a ton of
other UML tools out there.
