  Inheritance -   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
Inheritance is the practice of passing on property, titles, debts, and obligations upon the death of an individual.
Among Galician people it was typical that all children (both men and women) had a part of the inheritance, but one son (the one who inherited the house) inherited one-third of all the inheritance.
Many states have inheritance taxes, under which a portion of any estate goes to the government, though the government technically is not an heir.

 BioMed Central | Full text | Thesaurus-based disambiguation of gene symbols
Overall accuracy of the disambiguation algorithm, defined as the percentage of abstracts in our test set in which the correct meaning of the homonym was chosen, was 88.9% when OMIM annotations were used as reference description.
This suggests that excellent disambiguation results can be obtained with relatively simple reference descriptions, and offers a viable way for massive acquisition of such descriptions from literature links in genetic databases, which in view of the extent of the homonym problem should be automatic for all practical purposes.
The disambiguation algorithm compares the textual context of a homonym in a document with a reference description of each of the genes that the homonym may possibly denote.

 Wikipedia: Evolution
However, it is now known that most inherited variation can be traced to discrete, persistent entities called "genes", which are aspects of a linear molecule called DNA.
These are often referred to as epigenetic inheritance and may include phenomenon such as DNA methylation, prions, and structural inheritance.
Symbiogenesis argues that acquisition and accumulation of random mutations or genetic drift are not sufficient to explain how new inherited variations occur in evolution.

 9 INHERITANCE
A class may inherit from a parent a feature which it finds useful for its purposes, but whose name, appropriate for the context of the parent, is not consistent with the context of the heir.
It is not an error to inherit two deferred features from different parents under the same name, provided they have the same signature (number and types of arguments and result).
The final property of Eiffel inheritance involves the rules for adapting not only the implementation of inherited features (through redeclaration of either kind, redeclaration and redefinition, as seen so far) and their contracts (through the Assertion Redeclaration rule), but also their types.

 Alternate Object Oriented Programming View
Inheritance gives programmers a way to reduce the amount of code written by factoring out common elements among types and pushing them to a superclass.
Two types don't have to be related by inheritance in order for the same parameter of a generic function to be specialized to either of them by two separate methods, but it's a great labor-saving and complexity-reducing device to be able to factor out commonality.
That ObjectOrientedProgramming requires inheritance is an extreme view, and so is the view that inheritance is an unnecessary hack that introduces unwanted coupling among classes.

 Re: Role Method Conflicts and Disambiguation (Theory-theoretic take)
With classes and inheritance, you keep all of the baggage that accumulates at each step, on the off-chance that some as-yet unknown descendant might need it.
Think of it this way: with inheritance, every class has to be aware of its full lineage, as family connections are very important.
Part of the goal of roles (and I have been preaching this one since the hackathon) is that they are easier to use than multiple inheritance, have fewer headaches than mix-ins and are more useful than interfaces.

 Heredity Summary
Heredity (the adjective is hereditary) is the transfer of characteristics from parent to offspring, either through their genes or through the social institution called inheritance (for example, a title of nobility is passed from individual to individual according to relevant customs and/or laws).
The inheritance of acquired traits was shown to have little basis in the 1880s when August Weismann cut the tails off many generations of mice to find that their offspring did continue to develop tails.
It was initially assumed the Mendelian inheritance only accounted for large (qualitative) differences, such as those seen by Mendel in his pea plants — and the idea of additive effect of (quantitative) genes was not realised until R.A. Fisher's (1918) paper on The Correlation Between Relatives on the Supposition of Mendelian Inheritance.

 BioMed Central | Full text | Machine learning and word sense disambiguation in the biomedical domain: design and ...
Word sense disambiguation (WSD) is critical in the biomedical domain for improving the precision of natural language processing (NLP), text mining, and information retrieval systems because ambiguous words negatively impact accurate access to literature containing biomolecular entities, such as genes, proteins, cells, diseases, and other important entities.
However, Schuemie [12] analyzed 3,902 biomedical full-text articles and found that only 30% of the gene symbols in the abstracts were accompanied by their corresponding full names, and only 18% of the gene symbols in the full text were accompanied by their gene names.
Podowski [28] built a two-step classification system to disambiguate gene symbols: the first classifier determined whether the word was a gene versus a non-gene, and the other determined the appropriate gene for a symbol classified as a gene by the first classifier.

 JOT: Journal of Object Technology - CentiJ: An RMI Code Generator
Delegation has long been thought of as a generalization of inheritance (a point of view with which there is disagreement) [Aksit 1991] [Bracha].
Inheritance is less type-safe than static delegation because shadowing is typically allowed, without warning, at compile time.
Lieberman indicated that delegation is considered safer than inheritance because it forces the programmer to select which method to use when identical methods are available in two delegate classes.

 heir
Many modern states have inheritance taxes, whereby a portion of any estate goes to the government, though the government technically is not an heir.
An inheritance may have been organized as a fideicommission, which usually cannot be sold or diminished, only its profits are disposable.
In common law jurisdictions an heir is a person who is entitled to receive a share of the decedent's property via the rules of inheritance in the jurisdiction where the decedent died or owned property at the time of his death.

 An Overview of Webmind AI   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
We need actors that recognize and embody similarity relations between other actors, and inheritance relations between other actors (inheritance meaning that one actor is in some sense a special case of another one, in terms of its properties or the things it denotes).
However, the system of inheritance links does have special importance in one sense: It is the minimum subset of Webmind required to express all declarative knowledge according to standard mathematical logic.
For a single example, consider the problem of semantic disambiguation: When entering a word with many senses into the psynet, it must be decided which sense of the word is intended (or, in situations of subtle ambiguity, to what extent each sense of the word is intended).

If a function foo is defined on instances of class A then it is defined on instances of a class derived from A because the latter inherits all the functionality from the former.
In C++ the user has to allow it far up in the class hierarchy to be able to use it, and it can still be painful sometimes.

 3. C++ Specific Criticisms - C++?? : A Critique of C++ .. (3rd Ed., Ian Joyner, Oct 1996)
Inheritance is a close relationship providing a fundamental OO way to assemble software components, along with composition and genericity.
Inheritance in C++ is like a jig-saw where the pieces fit together, but the compiler has no way of checking that the resultant picture makes sense.
The inheritance is more flexible and done on a feature by feature basis, and each feature from A will either fork, in which it becomes two new features; or join, in which case there is only one resultant feature.

 The Preposition Project
As described in Litkowski (2002), a digraph of the prepositions permits propagation of meanings via inheritance, where the final preposition of a preposition definition is like a hypernym or superordinate.
However, viewing the preposition digraph as an inheritance hierarchy does not follow the usual principles of inheritance typical for nouns and verbs and must be investigated further.
In this effort, the lexicographer found that the relation of the subsenses to the core senses was based on some small bit of expanded (3) or narrowed (2) meaning, and that figurative extensions (1) did not apply (and are unlikely in general to apply to function words).

 MSPLS Spring '95 Workshop Abstract   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
The most complex semantic issues arising from the kind of multiple inheritance best exemplified by C++ concern subobject selection, which occurs with method calls and instance variable references.
Multiple inheritance, the dominance rule for disambiguation, and the presence of virtual and non-virtual base classes necessitate a semantic model that differentiates repeated inheritance on both the class and member levels.
By abstracting the notion of a subobject, we present a practical, coherent algebra for determining the appropriate subobject in the face of these complications.

No problem if you are mapping to C++, but ugly if you are mapping to C, or another OO language without support for multiple inheritance and disambiguation.

Most disambiguation is done by the generic ambiguity resolver, in generic_amb.h.
The rectangles and arrows represent a kind of inheritance hierarchy; e.g., a Class is one of the type-denoting Variables (note that this is only conceptual inheritance; in the implementation, there is just one class called Variable).
First, instantiation of template class declarations is required in order to disambiguate the AST, since a template class member can be either a type or a variable name, and that affects how a use of that name is parsed.

Objective-C categories have as their distant cousins, C++ multiple inheritance, and COM (component object model) aggregation.
Categories allow classes which are organized in different places of the class hierarchy to implement groups of methods, or interfaces, which allow behavior to be systematically organized irrespective of position in the inheritance taxonomy.
