A formal description of ZigZag-structures

The focus of this paper is on particular and innovative structures for storing, linking and manipulating information: the ZigZag structures. In the last years, we worked at the formalization of these structures, retaining that the description of the formal aspects can provide a better understanding of them, and can also stimulate new ideas, projects and research. This work presents our contribution for a deeper discussion on ZigZag structures.
