"A relation schema R* is in fourth normal form (4NF) if, whenever a nontrivial multivalued dependency X Y holds for R*, then so does the functional dependency X → A for every column name A of R*. Intuitively all dependencies are the result of keys." Fagin, Ronald (September 1977). «Multivalued Dependencies and a New Normal Form for Relational Databases»(PDF).
