SUB_CATEGORY_EXAMPLES

 

The DDL category sub_category_examples holds examples of a subcategory. A subcategory example might illustrate valid instances of the components which comprise the subcategory. An example specification contains the text of the example, _sub_category_examples.case, and an optional comment item, _sub_category_examples.detail, which can be used to qualify the example.

The basis for this category includes the items _sub_category_examples.id and sub_category_examples.case. The former item is completely defined in the parent category, sub_category (Section gif), and as a result this item is not redefined within this category. This compound basis permits multiple unique examples to be provided for each subcategory.

The DDL for the sub_category_examples category is given in the following section.
