Populating Attributes


Ask of each property, "Does this entity have only one of these?"

  • A person is of one age.
  • A building is of one height.
  • A song may be written in one key but sung in another!
  • An attribute is a property of an entity which depends solely on its entity - nothing else - and can have only one value at a time.
