Subtyping and Inheritance for Categorical Datatypes

Abstract

We extend Hagino's categorical datatypes with subtyping and a limited form of inheritance. The view of objects as coalgebras provides the inspiration for subtyping and inheritance for coalgebraic (or coinductive) types. Exploiting the duality between coalgebras and algebras then yields notions of subtyping and inheritance for algebraic (or inductive) types.
