8) A taxonomy is a category structure, typically a hierachical one. Normally features are 1 point
attributed to all categories on the different levels of the taxonomy. In this context, what is meant by
INHERITANCE?

That a leaf (terminal) category is characterized by the aggregation of attributes of itself and
all its ancestor categories.
That a category is characterized by the same attributes as its parent category only.
That a category is characterized by the same attributes as its sibling categories.

Yes, the answer is correct.

Score: 1
Accepted Answers:
That a leaf (terminal) category is characterized by the aggregation of attributes of itself and all its
ancestor categories.

9) For everyday entities such as tools, clothes, furniture, fruits, pets etc, a typical 1 point
taxonomy (category structure) has three levels of categories : superordinate, basic and subordinate.
What is the primary characteristic of the subordinate level.

It is the most abstract level with the fewest features

It is the level with the highest density of attributes and the most common sense and
everyday character of features
It is the most concrete level with detailed features

Yes, the answer is correct.

Score: 1
Accepted Answers:
It is the most concrete level with detailed features
