    Composite Attributes
    - These Attributes are classified as having many parts to them or just a single unbreakable attribute.
    - It is an attribute that can be subdivided into other single attributes with meanings of their own.
    - A single attribute is just an attribute that cannot be subdivided into parts.

    Multivalued attributes
    - This type of attribute can store multiple data in them.

    Derived attributes
    - This type of attribute is calculated from another attribute.
    - It may not be stored in the database but rather calculated using algorithm.
