If anyone is interested, there is a 2-volume set of books called "The Data Model Resource Book". They've been around for a while, so for more traditional businesses, but very thorough and broken out by industry:

+1. Definitely worth reading, I have Vols 1 & 2 (Vol 3 came out later). I found it useful because the author explained the decisions about the models and traps to avoid.

By far one of the most useful things a resource can do.

It doesn't just broaden your understanding of a domain, but it can teach you how to think about design problems.
