That's not quite right, though. Saying some part of the schema is not relevant implies we know what it is in this context but we choose not to consider it. Whereas "semi-structured" means we *don't* know what it is in this context.

Anyway, I think the *concept* as I've defined it is quite interesting. The specific choice of terms is not so important.
