The new data characteristics led to the development of new databases models and systems, namely NoSQL. Among these, document databases gain a lot of attention. While their usage is fast-growing, design methods for such databases received little attention. In this paper, we present a new method for designing document databases. The proposed method is based on a conceptual model of the application domain and considers the data-related functional requirements. We propose a set of rules to be applied to transform the conceptual model of the application, and its functional requirements, into a document database schema.
