So clearly these two concepts aren't always considered equivalent, but would
be the same thing (if more concise) as this?
Ignoring the fact that I typo'd engine to motor, if they aren't equivalent, how do the above two diagrams differ?
Edit: I was hoping on more of an elaboration on the 'contains' relationship inside the IsA diagram; is it valid? Do both of these diagrams (roughly) evaluate to the same relational schema? It would seem as though the generated tables would only differ by one column (an enumerated 'type' column), if making the bold assumption that gaskets and engines do not contain any disjoint properties.
