Qualifications and capabilities are formal assertions of specific information about the entity, generally related to how it should be treated by other entities, as described in Qualifications and Capabilities (Entity Attributes, etc.).

Entity attributes are represented in the entity's <mdattr:EntityAttributes> element, which contains a <saml:Attribute> element for each entity attribute declared. The syntax of each <saml:Attribute> element is dependent on the specific definition of the entity attribute it declares.

For example:

<mdattr:EntityAttributes>
  <saml:Attribute Name="http://macedir.org/entity-category-support" NameFormat="urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:2.0:attrname-format:uri">
    <saml:AttributeValue>http://refeds.org/category/research-and-scholarship</saml:AttributeValue>
  </saml:Attribute>
  <saml:Attribute Name="urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:attribute:assurance-certification" NameFormat="urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:2.0:attrname-format:uri">
    <saml:AttributeValue>https://refeds.org/sirtfi</saml:AttributeValue>
  </saml:Attribute>
  <saml:Attribute Name="http://macedir.org/entity-category" NameFormat="urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:2.0:attrname-format:uri">
    <saml:AttributeValue>http://id.incommon.org/category/registered-by-incommon</saml:AttributeValue>
  </saml:Attribute>
</mdattr:EntityAttributes>
