Sitaterquotes

Sitaterquotes is a term for a digital collection of quotations that emphasizes multilingual curation and precise attribution. The name blends sitater, a word for quotes in several Scandinavian languages, with the English term quotes, signaling a cross-lingual resource rather than a single project.

As a concept, sitaterquotes offers a generic framework for organizing quotations from diverse sources with metadata such as original language, author, date, source, translation, and licensing. Each entry provides the quotation text, provenance, and contextual notes to aid interpretation.

Data quality is central, with emphasis on verifiable sources and clear attribution. Licensing ranges from public domain to attribution-required; many implementations encourage copyright-compliant use and transparent sourcing.

Technologically, sitaterquotes could be implemented in a database storing text, metadata, and relationships between quotes and sources. A web interface and an API would support search, browsing, and citation export. Community contributions and moderation help maintain accuracy.

Applications include education, research, journalism, language learning, and digital humanities. The concept also informs discussions about quotation databases and the ethics of quotation use.

Related resources include Wikiquote, The Quotations Page, and other databases, illustrating different approaches to curation and licensing. Sitaterquotes remains a generic concept rather than a specific, existing platform.
