it is mostly in 3NF
the schema is available here:
http://svn.webperf.org/WebSVN/listing.php?repname=Nagios&path=/trunk/schema/&rev=0&sc=1

the only 'add-on' which isn't really in nagios is the concept of
applications and systems.
a system is a collection of hostgroups.

an application is the description of a app (say a apache webserver, or
a tomcat appserver) which runs on multiple hostgroups, but maybe on
different ports, and with different people responsible for it.
a 'VIP' refers to a load balancer group (usually how other things
access your group of machines) and have a more strict set of check
times/notifications

Ian

ps.. feedback is welcome, and if there is enough interest I'll set up
a mailing list (or we can just discuss it here if thats ok)
