This is list of recommended reading for those interesting in understanding the core concepts to which this site is dedicated.

The primary document is TheThirdManifesto, a set of requirements for a relational database language that should be the foundation for a relational database (instead of SQL). [1]

The companion document is the InformationMemorandum, the requirements if a particular language is to support inheritance. [2]

The Tarpit paper OutOfTheTarPit describes the difficulties facing current database software development in terms of essential and accidental complexity, and recommends an approach to resolving them. [3]

The HelsinkiDeclaration is a set of blog posts which describes the rationale and method for building Window on Data applications, based on SQL, but in many ways compliant with Tarpit. [4]

The AliceBook is a solid treatise on relational theory and defines the features a relational language should have. [5]
