Specialization Lattice stands for

  • A.An entity type can participate as a subclass in only one specialization.
  • B.An entity type can participate as a subclass in more than one specialization.
  • C.An entity type that can participate in one specialization.
  • D.An entity type that can participate in one generalization.

Answer: B

A specialization lattice lets an entity type be a subclass in more than one specialization.

In the extended ER model a hierarchy gives each subclass one superclass, but a lattice allows a subclass to take part in several specializations.

Options A, C and D describe participation in only one specialization or in a generalization, which restricts it. In the extended entity-relationship model a specialization hierarchy gives each subclass one superclass, whereas a lattice allows an entity type to be a subclass of several superclasses and so to take part in more than one specialization.
