Inheritance models

Object-oriented modelling involves identifying the classes of object that are important
in the domain being studied. These are then organised into a taxonomy. A taxonomy
is a classification scheme that shows how atl object class is related to other
classes through common attributes and services.
To di:,play this taxonomy, the classes are organised into an inheritance hierarchy
with the most general object classes at the top of the hierarchy. More specialised
objects inherit their attributes and services. These specialised objects may have their
own attributes and services.
