Similarities and Differences between Attributes and Parameters • Parameters and Attributes both exist at the individual entity level and both are permission-controlled. • Attributes possess descriptive aspects of the design (description, rationale, etc.) as well as GENESYS environment data. • Parameters are values - generally numeric with units. • Attributes are pre-defined by the GENESYS project administrator (though extensible at any time). • Parameters are user-defined during project development. • Attributes are drawn from the full range of data types in GENESYS. • Parameters are limited to an appropriate subset of data types: integer , float , date , time , timestamp , and string .
