He is, though, mostly influenced by Descartes, and in some ways is trying to keep with Descartes' notion of "attribute".
The notion of attribute-based signature is one of the important security primitives to realize anonymous authentication.
Comparing to other graph query languages, the functional language LT designed here is based on the notion of graph conceptual schema using the notion of attribute.
First, following Zalta (1983), we want to interpret Mally's notion of objectives (Objektive) in terms of the modern notion of a property, though the notion of attribute would also be appropriate.
We introduce a notion of attribute interpretations that enables us to interpret first-order relational signatures into named system states, and develop a formal semantic framework based on 3-valued logic.
We start with a conceptual modelling can based on the notion of attribute viewed as an empirical typed function that is described by an expression of a natural language [7].
Analytical functions are of type S, where S does not depend on W and T. The notion of attribute applied in GDBs could be restricted on attributes of types(R:S), ((Bool:R):S), or (Bool:R,S), where R and S are entity types.
To allow the addition of new properties, to provide more details about the experiment or to keep track of user- or lab-defined attributes, the notion of extended attribute can be introduced to the model.
He also argued that the notion of valency attributed to atoms to explain their combining power was simply a macroscopic characterization projected into the microscopic level.
Finally, the statistical notion of epistasis attributed to Fisher [12] is defined as the deviation from additivity in linear statistical models, where the relationship between multilocus genotypes and phenotypic variation, at a population level, is not predictable under the assumption of independent gene activities.
