Information About

Specialized




Concept B is a specialization of concept A if and only if:
  • every instance of concept B is also an instance of concept A; and

  • there are instances of concept A which are not instances of concept B.


For instance, ' Bird ' is a specialization of ' Animal ' because every bird
is an animal, and there are animals which are not birds ( Dog s, for
instance).

In Logic , specialization occurs when you take a statement such as:

: "All cars are red"

And use it to derive statements such as:

: "My car is red"
: "Fred's car is red"
