Section 3. Subclassing Existing Entities
Owned by Ian Christopher (Deactivated)
This section covers allowable scenarios for subclassing existing entities in the Ed-Fi data model and extensions.
3.1. Subclass Domain Entities and Associations
Domain Entities and Associations may be subclassed when an entity needs additional data to support a specialization of the model. Currently, only the subclassing of abstract entities, such as EducationOrganization and GeneralStudentProgramAssociation (formerly StudentProgramAssociation in v2.x), is supported.*
- MUST NOT contain any identity properties.
- MUST contain at least one property.
- SHOULD NOT contain properties included in the parent entity unless additional context is provided.
- SHOULD follow the same naming conventions as are applicable for the parent entity.
- MUST subclass domain entities and associations only.
- MUST NOT subclass a subclassed entity.
