h3.Definition: Attribute Description

An attribute description is used to identify a given [attribute|Definition -- Attribute] in an [entry|Definition -- Entry]. An attribute description contains a name or OID that ties it to an [attribute type|Definition -- Attribute Type] and zero or more [attribute options|Definition -- Attribute Option]. If the attribute description contains any attribute options, then they are separated from the attribute name or OID by a semicolon, and a semicolon is also used to separate individual attribute options if there is more than one option in the attribute description.
