1. A method, with an information processing system, for generating a plurality of candidate database schemas including relational and mark-up language elements, the method comprising: receiving an information model comprising a plurality of entities and at least one relationship defined there between, wherein the information model has been annotated with at least one semantic characteristic, operational characteristic, and evolutional characteristic; analyzing the information model that has been annotated; associating a score, in response to the analyzing, with each entity based at least in part on attributes associated with each entity; classifying, in response to associating a score, each entity as one of a relational element and a mark-up language element; partitioning, in response to the classifying, the information model that has been annotated into a plurality of relational element mappings and a plurality of mark-up language element mappings; and generating, in response to the partitioning, a plurality of database schemas associated with the information model that has been annotated.
