Attributes
Once you have determined all the facts necessary to complete
your business model, you identify the attributes for that
model. Attributes act as holders of information, allowing you
to add context to your facts in a report.
For example, if you had $10,000 in revenue, that number
does not mean anything in a business sense unless you know
the context, such as which region, the designated time frame
for the sales, and what was the labor involved.
Simply put, attributes provide categories for the summarization of data.
