Datribució

Datribució is not a standard term in Catalan or in widely used technical vocabularies. In normative use, the closest and correct forms are distribució, meaning distribution, or atribució, meaning attribution. The appearance of the form datribució is typically the result of a typographical error or a naïve blend of words rather than a recognized concept.

Possible interpretations of the term, when encountered, are limited and context-dependent. One common reading is that it is a misspelling of distribució, referring to the act or result of distributing elements within a set, such as a statistical distribution, a geographic distribution, or a distribution of resources. In statistics and data analysis, the standard Catalan phrase would be distribució de valors, distribucions normal o binomial, etc.

Another, less common interpretation would be a portmanteau suggesting data attribution, i.e., attribution or provenance of data. If used in this sense, it would relate to attributing data to sources, authors, or processes, though this usage is not established in normative terminology; the conventional terms would be atribució or procedència de dades.

Etymology and orthography indicate that the normative Catalan vocabulary does not include datribució. Therefore, when writing about distribution or data provenance, it is advisable to use the established terms distribució or atribució, respectively, to avoid confusion.
