The "Data" is a key, value pair. Just this, and nothing more. An "Attribute" is a key, value pair, but with additional information, including notes and sources. The reason we have the "Data" item in a source, is because if we had an "Attribute", we would end up with a circular dependency. "Source" contains "Attribute" contains "Source" Since there is no valid reason for this loop, we go with: "Source" contains "Data"=20 And it is called "Data", because it is not the same as an "Attribute" Don |
