Documentation	Generic (user defined) attributes may be used to represent attributes which are not covered explicitly by the CityGML schema. Generic attributes should be used with care; they should only be used if there is no appropiate attribute available in the schema. Oherwise, problems concerning semantic interoperability may arise. A generic attribute has a name and a value, which has further subclasses (IntAttrribute, StringAttribute, ...).
