Entity Subtype Inherited Characteristics

An Entity Subtype's characteristics and all Entity Type's inherited characteristics apply to the subtype. For example, all customers have a value for Attribute Name, but foreign customers must also have a value for the Attributes Country Code and Import License Number. The subtype also inherits Identifiers and Mutually Exclusive constraints; you can add others if they apply only to the Entity Subtype, not to its parent.
