structure attribute
A structure attribute is a category of text types (metadata) that can be added to the structure, for example to a document.
Here, the doc(ument) structure has the pub_year attribute. The attribute has a value: 2012.
(to be understood as: The documents in this corpus have publication years, the publication year of this concrete document is 2012)
<doc pub_year="2012"> ⋮ </doc>
Upon corpus compilation, the attribute and the value are processed so that they can appear in the text type selector for the user to easily limit the search to the selected text types.
