Attribute table - A table that is attached to a data layer that contains many characteristics of a feature on a map. The table is made of columns and rows where the columns represent values or description for different attributes and each row represents a different feature. For example, the attribute table for a layer of points that represents elementary schools may have columns labeled “number of students,” “number of teachers,” or “distance from police station,” and each row would represent a different school having values for each column.
