A path-based inheritance logic is proposed for handling nonmonotonic inheritance structures. The formalism is called exceptional inheritance logic (EIL). Exceptional information which is nevertheless inheritable is encapsulated in a class, called an exceptional class. EIL also takes into account a difference between acquired and inheritable properties. The paper describes ways in which exceptio...
