ERD including supertype, subtype database

I'm drawing an ERD for a database and want to know if you need to include the supertypes and sub-types in the ERD. If yes, how to represent it. Thanks.

google for "ER Specialization". This is the term used in ER literature for subtyping. You should get some ways to diagram it, using the "Is-a" triangle connector. Some tutorials place it in "Extended ER features".
