  The AttributeDescriptor may contain one or more //[[Attribute>>doc:sdmx:Glossary 2\.1.Attribute.WebHome]]//s, i.e., at least one DataAttribute definition or one MetadataAttribute reference.
--The DataAttribute defines a characteristic of data that are collected or disseminated and is grouped in the DataStructureDefinition by a single AttributeDescriptor. The DataAttribute can be indicated if it must be reported or not, by the corresponding value of the usage [[attribute>>doc:sdmx:Glossary 2\.1.Attribute.WebHome]]: i.e., mandatory or optional. The property minOccurs specifies the minimum number of array values to be included when the DataAttribute is reported. Moreover, a maxOccurs [[attribute>>doc:sdmx:Glossary 2\.1.Attribute.WebHome]] indicates whether the DataAttribute may need to report more than one values, i.e., an array of values. The DataAttribute may play a specific role in the structure and this is specified by the +role association to the [[Concept>>doc:sdmx:Glossary 2\.1.Concept.WebHome]] that identifies its role.
