Abstract
In this chapter, we describe the situation of inherited features not fitting the abstraction level or particular semantics of the recipient class. Since inherited features cannot be removed or ignored, we introduce a redefinition mechanism to alter some of their properties in a controlled manner. After describing the overall concept of feature redefinition, the chapter provides a comprehensive description of what redefinition rules exist to regulate how inherited features may be altered.
