  • Type Inheritance and Relational Theory

    Subtypes, Supertypes, and Substitutability

    by C.J. Date ...
    Type inheritance is that phenomenon according to which we can say, for example, that every square is also a rectangle, and so properties that apply to rectangles in general apply to squares in particular. In other words, squares are a subtype of rectangles, and rectangles are a supertype of squares. Recognizing and acting upon such subtype / supertype relationships provides numerous benefits: ...
