Inheritance in Ontology

This feature introduces Inheritance within Ontology, enabling hierarchical relationships between Object Types to promote reusability, structural consistency, and simplified maintenance. With this feature, a Child Object Type can inherit properties and relations from a Parent Object Type, with inherited attributes clearly identified and system-managed, while still allowing the child to define its own additional properties and relations. This supports the concept of abstract objects within the parent collection that are not yet assigned to a specific child type, as well as maintaining a parent copy of child objects that contains only inherited property values. By enabling structured inheritance, this enhancement improves ontology scalability, reduces configuration redundancy, and ensures standardized data modeling across related object types.
