In computing , an attribute is a specification that defines a property of an object, element, or file. It may also refer to or set the specific value for a given instance of such. For clarity, attributes should more correctly be considered metadata . An attribute is frequently and generally a property of a property. However, in actual usage, the term attribute can and is often treated as equivalent to a property depending on the technology being discussed. An attribute of an object usually consists of a name and a value of an element, a type or class name of a file, a name and extension.

Unreferenced date December 2009 A name value pair , key value pair , field value pair or attribute value pair is a fundamental data representation in computing systems and applications. Designers often desire an open ended data structure that allows for future extension without modifying existing code or data. In such situations, all or part of the data model may be expressed as a collection of tuple s < attribute name , value > each element is an attribute value pair. Depending on the particular application and the implementation chosen by programmers, attribute names may or may not be unique. Some of the applications where information is represented as attribute value pairs are E mail , in RFC 2822 headers Optional elements in protocol computing network protocol s, such as Internet Protocol IP , where they often appear as type length value TLV type length value triples Bibliographic information, as in BibTeX and Dublin Core metadata Element attributes in SGML and XML General metadata in Resource Description Framework RDF Some kinds of database systems OpenStreetMap map data Some computer language s implement attribute value pairs, or more frequently collections of attribute value pairs, as standard language features. Most of these implement the general model of an associative array an unordered list of unique attributes with associated values. As a result, they are not fully general they cannot be used, for example, to implement electronic mail headers which are ordered and non unique .

In science and research , attribute is a characteristic of an object person, thing, etc. . ref name babbie Earl R. Babbie , The Practice of Social Research , 12th edition, Wadsworth Publishing, 2009, ISBN 0495598410, p. 14 18 ref While an attribute is often intuitive, the variable is the operationalization operationalized way in which the attribute is represented for further data processing . In data processing data are often represented by a combination of items objects organized in rows , and multiple variables organized in columns . Values of each variable statistically vary or are distributed across the variable s domain . Domain is a set of all possible values that a variable is allowed to have. The values are ordered in a logical way and must be defined for each variable. Domains can be bigger or smaller. The smallest possible domains have those variables that can only have two values, also called binary or dichotomous variables. Bigger domains have non dichotomous variables and the ones with a higher level of measurement . An example Ageing Age is an attribute that can be operationalized in many ways. It can be dichotomized so that only two values old and young are allowed for further data processing. In this case the attribute age is operationalized as a binary variable. If more then two values are possible and they can be ordered, the attribute is represented by ordinal variable, such as young , middle age , and old . Next it can be made of rational values, such as 1, 2, 3.... 99 ref name babbie The social class attribute can be operationalized in similar ways as age, including lower , middle and upper class and each class could be differentiated between upper and lower, transforming thus changing the three attributes into six see the Social class William Lloyd Warner model proposed by William Lloyd Warner or it could use different terminology such as the working class as in the Social class Gilbert .26 Kahl model by Gilbert and Kahl .

Programming paradigms Attribute oriented programming AOP is a program level marking technique. Programmers can mark program elements e.g. classes and methods to indicate that they maintain application specific or domain specific semantics. For example, some programmers may define a logging attribute and associate it with a method to indicate the method should implement a logging function, while other programmers may define a web service attribute and associate it with a class to indicate the class should be implemented as a web service. Attributes separate application s core logic or business logic from application specific or domain specific semantics e.g. logging and web service functions . By hiding the implementation details of those semantics from program code, attributes increase the level of programming abstraction and reduce programming complexity, resulting in simpler and more readable programs. The program elements associated with attributes are transformed to more detailed programs ... into the methods associated with a logging attribute.

An attribute value system is a basic knowledge representation framework comprising a table with columns designating attributes also known as properties , predicates, features, dimensions, characteristics or independent variables depending on the context and rows designating objects also known as entities, instances, exemplars, elements or dependent variables . Each table cell therefore designates the value also known as state of a particular attribute of a particular object. Example of attribute value system Below is a sample attribute value system. It represents 10 objects rows and five features columns . In this example, the table contains only integer values. In general, an attribute value system may contain any kind of data, numeric or otherwise. An attribute value system is distinguished from a simple feature list representation in that each feature in an attribute value system may possess a range of values e.g., feature math P 1 math below, which has domain of 0,1,2 , rather than simply being present or absent Harv Barsalou Hale 1993 . class wikitable style text align center width 30 border 1 Sample Attribute Value System Object math P 1 math math P 2 math math P 3 math math P 4 math math P 5 math math O 1 math 1 2 0 1 1 math O 2 math 1 2 0 1 1 math O 3 math 2 0 0 1 0 math O 4 math 0 0 1 2 1 math O 5 math 2 1 0 2 1 math O 6 math 0 0 1 2 2 math O 7 math 2 0 0 1 0 math O 8 math 0 1 2 2 1 math O 9 math 2 1 0 2 2 math O 10 math 2 0 0 1 0 Other terms used for attribute value system Attribute value systems are pervasive throughout many different literatures, and have been discussed under many different names Flat data Spreadsheet Attribute value system Ziarko & Shan 1996 Information ... also Bayes networks Entity attribute value model Joint distribution Knowledge representation wikibooks ... rules in attribute value systems journal Computational Intelligence volume 12 issue 2 pages 223 234 ... models compu AI stub simple Attribute value system ... more details

Unreferenced date January 2012 Notability date January 2012 The Template Attribute Language TAL is a templating language used to generate dynamic HTML and XML pages. Its main goal is to simplify the collaboration between programmers and designers. This is achieved by embedding TAL statements inside valid HTML or XML tags which can then be worked on using common design tools. TAL was created for Zope but is used in other Python programming language Python based projects as well. Overview TAL templates are often made from result pages with the variable content being replaced by special attributes e.g., source lang xml h1 tal content string Some altogether different headline The headline visible to the designer h1 source would be treated by a common HTML design tool as source lang xml h1 The headline visible to the designer h1 source while the application server, evaluating the tal content attribute, would yield source lang xml h1 Some altogether different headline h1 source Of course, string literal s are not the most common nor the most useful use case syntax of the possible attribute values are properties of the TAL Expression Syntax TALES language.

No footnotes date September 2011 Portal Software Testing Multi attribute global inference of quality MAGIQ is a multi criteria decision analysis technique. MAGIQ is based on a hierarchical decomposition of comparison attributes and rating assignment using rank order centroids. The MAGIQ technique is used to assign a single, overall measure of quality to each member of a set of systems where each system has an arbitrary number of comparison attributes. The MAGIQ technique has features similar to the analytic hierarchy process and the simple multi attribute rating technique exploiting ranks SMARTER technique. The MAGIQ technique was first published by James D. McCaffrey . The MAGIQ process begins with an evaluator determining which system attributes are to be used as the basis for system comparison. These attributes are ranked by importance to the particular problem domain, and the ranks are converted to ratings using rank order centroids. Each system under analysis is ranked against each comparison attribute and the ranks are transformed into rank order centroids. The final overall quality metric for each system is the weighted by comparison attribute importance sum of each attribute rating. The references provide specific examples of the process. There is little direct research on the theoretical soundness and effectiveness of the MAGIQ technique as a whole, however the use of hierarchical decomposition and the use of rank order centroids in multi criteria decision analyses have been studied, with generally positive results. Anecdotal evidence suggests that the MAGIQ technique is both practical and useful. References Edwards, W. and Barron, F.H.
