From Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. Abstraction is a conceptual process by which higher, more abstract concepts are derived from the usage and classification of literal (ie. "real" or "concrete") concepts. An "abstraction" (noun) is a concept that acts as super-categorical noun for all subordinate concepts, and connects any related concepts as a group, field, or category. Abstractions may be formed by reducing the information content of a concept or an observable phenomenon, typically to retain only information which is relevant for a particular purpose. For example, abstracting a leather soccer ball to the more general idea of a ball retains only the information on general ball attributes and behavior, eliminating the characteristics of that particular ball.

Q. how to write project abstraction if i am making project on online electronic shopping. Asked by Ajesh - Fri Jul 9 04:35:14 2010 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments A. An abstraction is just a high level description of the project. You do not want to include implementation details. Example: The project is a shopping website that the client will use to sell merchandise to the general public. The site will display the merchandise and include facilities for taking orders and accepting payments. As you can see, I am making very general statements without going into details as to how the merchandise display will be coded or how the shopping cart will be implemented.
