abstract = {This chapter introduces a basic sequential construction of random partitions, motivated at first by consideration of uniform
random permutations of a set of $n$ elements, which are consistent in a certain sense as n varies. This leads to consideration of a particular two-parameter family of exchangeable random partition structures, which can be characterized in various ways, and which is closely related to gamma and stable subordinators.},
