  1. Modeling Subclasses The world is not flat! Some objects in a class may have properties not shared by other members: Products Software products Educational products So --- we define subclasses (in ODL and in E/R).

  2. Subclasses in ODL Interface SoftwareProduct: Product{ attribute Set<string> platform; attribute Set<integer> requiredMemory; } Interface EducationalProduct: Product{ attribute Struct Interval {integer begin, integer end} ageGroup; attribute string topic } The two classes also inherit all the properties of Product.

  3. Multiple Inheritance Product Platforms required memory ageGroup topic Educational Product Software Product Educational-method Educ-software Product
