Weak Multivalued Dependencies+
Summary: Introduces weak multivalued dependencies (WVDs), a template-dependency subclass that characterizes when NEST commutes, with tableau/graph/partition views and a complete axiom system. Shows WVDs enable horizontal/vertical decompositions absent MVDs and provides interaction axioms with MVDs. (summarized by gpt-5-mini on Feb 09 2026)
