SubClass Of (basic relationship type) Title of this Item
sub_class_of Name of this Item
This relationship is used to connect two items, both representing classes, indicating that the subject item is a sub-class of the object item. For example, the connection "Ships is a SubClass-Of Vehicles" links the two class items, and makes the statement that "Ships" are a more specific kind of "Vehicles". Once this connection is established, the system will behave as if everything that is true about "Vehicles" is also true for "Ships" (although not vice-versa). For example, if another property is defined such that its object items are required to be instances of the "Vehicles" class, then having this connection allows instances of "Ships" to be used as well. But, another property whose objects are required to be "Ships" is not affected, and other "Vehicles" still cannot be used. Description of this Item
