We discuss a class of partially exchangeable random arrays which generalizes the notion of hierarchical exchangeability introduced in Austin and Panchenko (2014). We say that our partially exchangeable arrays are DAG-exchangeable since their partially exchangeable structure is governed by a collection of Directed Acyclic Graphs (DAG). More specifically, such a random array is indexed by N^|V| for some DAG, G = (V,E), and its exchangeability structure is governed by the edge set E. We prove a representation theorem which generalizes the Aldous-Hoover and Austin-Panchenko representation theorems.
