description | A discriminator is needed to apply inheritance for creating a generalization/Specialization Hierarchy using subtypes and supertypes.
Example: The discriminator between men and women is the gender. Please note that it is not necessarily discriminating to make a distinction accoring to gender. Only if the discriminator is applied in a context where the difference is or should not be relevant is this a discrimination. This note might help you to remember what a discriminator is |
