In parallel with "structured programming," (which often focused on code structure), there was more esoteric work done on "structured data." A lot of this found fruition in things like container libraries. (Few people write their own hash tables any more.) But there was a deeper side of this that explores formal methods for data structures. This out-of-print collection of articles explores many aspects of the algebra of data structures.
