Scenario: A university wants to model its faculty, which includes professors, adjuncts, and teaching assistants. How would you apply Generalization and Specialization in this context?
- Adjuncts as a subtype of professors
- Professors, adjuncts, and teaching assistants as attributes of the faculty entity
- Professors, adjuncts, and teaching assistants as separate entities
- Teaching assistants inheriting attributes from professors
In this context, applying Generalization and Specialization would involve considering adjuncts as a subtype of professors. This allows for shared attributes and behaviors among professors and adjuncts while maintaining distinct characteristics for each faculty role.
