From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
discriminated union The discriminated union of two sets A and B is A + B = {(inA, a) \| a in A} U {(inB, b)\| b in B} where inA and inB are arbitrary tags which specify which summand an element originates from. A {type} (especially an {algebraic data type}) might be described as a discriminated union if it is a {sum type} whose objects consist of a tag to say which part of the union they belong to and a value of the corresponding type.
