How does generalization enhance the clarity and efficiency of a data model?
- Increasing redundancy by duplicating attributes across entities
- Limiting data abstraction to individual entities
- Reducing redundancy by defining common characteristics in a superclass
- Simplifying queries by creating complex relationships
Generalization enhances the clarity and efficiency of a data model by reducing redundancy. Common characteristics are defined in a superclass, and subclasses inherit these attributes, promoting a more organized and maintainable structure.
