Answer to Question 1

Generalization is the process of defining a more general entity type from a set of more specialized entity types. For example, if we had undergraduate and graduate students with similar attributes, then we might create a student supertype. The student supertype would then contain the attributes that all subtypes have in common. Specialization, on the other hand, would occur when we discover that we have a student type but there are different attributes for different types of students. In this case, we would create subtypes which would contain unique attributes for that subtype.
