+### get-record-fields ###
+ * Syntax:
+
+        get-record-fields(record_expression)
+
+ * Access the record field names, type and open status for a given record.
+ * Arguments:
+    * `record_expression` : a record value.
+ * Return Value:
+    * An order list of `record` values that include the field-name `string`, field-type `string`, is-open `boolean` and optional nested `orderedList` for the values of a nested record.
+
+ * Example:
+
+        let $r1 := {"id": 1, 
+            "project": "AsterixDB", 
+            "address": {"city": "Irvine", "state": "CA"}, 
+            "related": ["Hivestrix", "Preglix", "Apache VXQuery"] }
+        return get-record-fields($r1)
+
+ * The expected result is:

+        [ { "field-name": "id", "field-type": "INT64", "is-open": false }, 
+          { "field-name": "project", "field-type": "STRING", "is-open": false },

+
+ ]
+### get-record-field-value ###
+ * Syntax:
+
+        get-record-field-value(record_expression, string_expression)
+
+ * Access the field name given in the `string_expression` from the `record_expression`.
+ * Arguments:
+    * `record_expression` : A `record` value.
+    * `string_expression` : A `string` representing the top level field name.
+ * Return Value:
+    * An `any` value saved in the designated field of the record.
+
+ * Example:
+
+        let $r1 := {"id": 1, 
+            "project": "AsterixDB", 
+            "address": {"city": "Irvine", "state": "CA"},
