The Nested List Normal Form is proposed as a syntactic normal form for semantically well-designed database schemata obtained from any arbitrary finite nesting of records and lists....
tor. In order to capture different data models at a time, an abstract algebraic approach based on nested attributes is taken. The presence of the list constructor calls for a new i...

With the advent of XML and its use as a database language, dependency and normal form theory has attracted novel research interest. Several approaches to build up a dependency and...
We extend the earlier results on the equivalence between the Boolean and the multivalued dependencies in relational databases and fragments of the Boolean propositional logic. It ...
In this paper we make three main contributions. We firstly define multivalued dependencies in XML (XMVDs) and show that they generalize the definition of a functional dependenc...
