Yes, I think so. Something like XML Schema uniqueness and referential
constraints applied over a document collection. I'm not entirely sure that
the RDBMS approach of modelling relationships only as constraints is ideal -
for example there can be a relationship even when there is no constraint -
but it's a start.
