Generalization (DM)

A generalization represents an inheritance relationship between a general entity and a more specific entity. The specific entity is fully consistent with the general entity and inherits its characteristics and behavior. It can however include additional attributes or associations. Any object of the specific entity is also a component of the general entity.
