I want to know FME standard terminologies about list attribute.
For example, there are some types of list attribute or its expression, how should I call the type name when I need to distinguish them?
_list{} <-- called "simple list", "non-structured list"?
_list{}.name <-- "structured list"?
_list{}.sub{} <-- "multidimentional list", "nested list"?
etc.
If you know related documentations, please let me know URL. Thanks in advance.

according to http://fmepedia.safe.com/articles/FAQ/List-Attributes, Safe calls them as follows:
_list{} <-- list
_list{}.name <-- complex list
Personally, I'd call _list{}.sub{} a nested list and _list{}.sub{}.name a nested complex list, although I haven't seen these terms used by Safe.

Thanks for the answer.
I think "complex list", "nested list" and "nested complex list" are expressing well the characteristics of those list types.
I also will use those terms!
