Formal definitions for this extended relational model can be given by applying usual notions recursively. The main problem considered in this paper is the formal definition of an appropriate relational algebra for these non-first-normal-form relations. We allow the application of the basic relational operators to any relation-valued attribute within a relation. This leads to a (hierarchically) nested relational algebra.
