I suggest s/there are/there are also/

Also "equivalent" doesn't sound quite right to me.  And "goals" and
"clause" are not quite right - they are DCG-goals and DCG-clauses.

How about

	There are also record syntax DCG goals (@pxref{DCG-goals},
	which provide similar functionality to record syntax expressions,
	except that they act on the DCG arguments of a DCG clause.
