==Attribute interpretation==

Attributes are used for both qualitative and quantitative interpretation. An example of qualitative interpretation would be to use maps of dip magnitude, dip azimuth, or residual structure to interpret detailed fault trace patterns on a horizon. An example of quantitative interpretation would be an attempt to correlate attributes with reservoir properties measured in the borehole. A large number of papers illustrating both applications of horizon and volume attributes are published each year in various professional journals. Examples of applications to structural interpretation include Brede and Thomas<ref name=ch13r1>Brede, E., C., Thomas, S., W., 1986, Interactive fault mapping: a case study: The Leading Edge, vol. 5, no. 9, p. 1262–1272., 10., 1190/1., 1439303</ref> Denham and Nelson<ref name=ch13r4>Denham, J., I., Nelson, H., R.
