Description

The paper presents an axiomatisation for functional dependencies on trees that are defined using constructors for records, lists, sets and multisets. A simple form of restructuring permitting lists to be mapped onto multisets and multisets onto sets is added to the theory. Furthermore, the theory handles dependencies on sets treated as multisets. This adds the possibility to use the count of elements in the dependencies.
