I define the attributes - manufacturer and manufacturer_part_number. A better way would be to define an internal part number that could map to multiple manufacturer/manufacturer_part_number tuples. An internal part number database is on my to-do list. I would not define a vendor field in the schematic. You do not want your schematic to change if you change vendors. For specs (other than value) that you want to display on the schematic I would probably do attributes like spec_voltage, spec_power, etc. If you do not want to display them on the schematic I would not add them. You could get them from a component specs database keyed off of an internal part number. If you only have a few specifications that need to be displayed on the schematic I would probably just do text strings.
