Typically when you want to do this, you are working on info-boxes. The
assumption should be that those info boxes are the same for a certain
category of subjects (eg all the emirs of Cordoba).
An Emir of Cordoba belongs to "Noble family" "Emirate of Cordoba" and many
of the associated fields could be inhereted from "Noble family". When you
set something up along these lines, there is hardly a need to add
attributes after an initial setup.
