What are the differences between attribute and properties ?

From philosophical point of view, Classification point of view and GIS point of view. For example in a GIS software everything is treated as an attribute. In philosophy it is more difficult task. Please clarify

Dear All.
This is really a delicate issue. In experiments, it is safer to be definite and precise. When an object is blue, just say, "The object is blue." Fields of human endeavour use these words differently as in engineering, medicine, architecture, mathematics, law, et cetera. Attribute is more about feature while property is more about character. While we can change the features of a person or thing much more easily, character is not that easy to change. Character is part of what forms the REALITY of a thing, but feature is just like beauty and anything based on beauty soon as beauty, fades.
Thanks All.
