Re: attribute vs element definition

I am getting confused as to what is the difference between an attribute

googled it and it seems that attribute is the correct term. I had
someone even say that attribute are groups of elements ... Anybody know
of a definitive site for the nomenclature?

No, but AFAIR the correct terms should be "table/columns" for physical database and "entity/attributes" for ER-diagram.

Kind regards,
