hiérarchie d'héritage

OBS: Réseau conceptuel basé sur l'héritage, ou la transmission des propriétés des concepts plus généraux vers les concepts plus spécialisés.

OBS: When knowledge is represented in a hierarchy, the characteristics of superordinate objects are inherited by subordinate objects. Thus, if we determine that an auto loan is a type of loan then we know that the credit check procedures that apply to all loans apply to auto loans.
CONT: When abstractions organized by inclusion relations form a tree, the result is known as a taxonomic hierarchy or in Ai, an inheritance hierarchy.
