what is an attribute, and what is an attribute value?

An attribute defines the properties (name, category, type, etc.) of a piece of information in a UR item. Attributes are displayed at Tools | Attributes, and their properties are displayed and edited at Tools | Attributes | Properties. For instance, the Date Created attribute is named 'Date Created', its type is Date+Time, category is System, etc.
An attribute value is a specific occurrence of an attribute, with some value, for a particular item. Attribute values are displayed/edited in various locations (2nd column of the Item Attributes pane, columns in the Related Items pane, fields on forms, etc.). For instance, the value of the Date Created attribute of an item indicates the date+time that particular item was created.
