Many of us think we know what those terms mean, but do not, especially when they appear together in the same sentence.
If attributes give you a problem, just ignore them for the time being. You might not need the attributes at the beginning, however you'll be most certainly missing out a lot. Most of Personal information manager softwares dont have this feature. When I was deciding which one to go for, this page came in handy http://www.donationcoder.com/Reviews...ers1/index.php

I tried most of them, and then see Ultra Recall, with this comment: "Another EATKS software. Again, I don't think it offers anything particularly unique as far as notetaking." - how much they were wrong!!!

The attributes feature in my case was the most important feature. Go slowly, try some simple examples with defined attributes, do some searches, think about how sth can be implemented. You will gradually learn more about how to use the attributes and see how much they can offer!
