scholarly-citation
Verifiable-attribution craft drawn from scholarly/scientific citation traditions (citation classification, typing, anchoring). It ensures every claim in this wiki is atomized, evidence-graded, attributed to a speaker, typed by citation meaning, and anchored to a source location — and therefore traceable. Unlike the three borrowed traditions (narrative, exec summary, encyclopedic neutrality), this craft synthesizes external sources into an atomic-claim schema and is the project's signature. criteria.json is the SoT for each criterion's definition, comparator, and source; wiki-global state (page existence·hub type·section titles) is injected by the orchestrator (tools/_lint/source.py). The schema literals (## Key Claims, [fact], cites: etc.) are the wiki's actual schema markers and section headers.
Claim atomization & grading (cit.grade-marker · cit.atomic · cit.composite-split)
One claim, one line, one utterance. Each line of ## Key Claims (Key Claims) marks an evidence grade — [fact] (primary source), [analysis] (secondary analysis), [forecast] (forecast). Putting two subjects' claims on one line (joined by "and"/"&" or a comma series spanning two hubs; ko: the conjunctions 와/및), or chaining verb phrases on one line ("…did, and …did"; ko: ~했고, ~했다), breaks atomicity.
Claimant attribution (cit.claimant-link · cit.claimant-valid · cit.speaker-link)
Every claim is bound to who said it. A [[claimant]] wikilink right after the grade marker names the speaker; anonymous subjects ("the government"·"industry sources"; ko 정부는·업계에서는) are forbidden (WP:ASF — "avoid stating opinions as facts"; attribute them to a named source). A blockquote carries a speaker-attribution wikilink (APA author-date principle — identify the cited author). The attribution target must exist as a real page.
Citation typing (cit.cite-type · cit.cite-distribution · cit.cite-type-hub)
Each line of ## Connections (Connections) types the citation's meaning — cites: (direct grounds)·references: (context)·contradicts: (dispute)·defines: (definition). This extends scite Smart Citations' Supporting / Mentioning / Contrasting classes (with defines: added). If every line collapses to the default-safe references:, that signals avoidance of meaning classification. defines: points only to a concept hub.
Source anchoring (cit.anchor · cit.anchor-valid)
An external-evidence citation anchors to the source's section — [[slug#section]] (ko: [[slug#섹션]]). This applies Xanadu citation anchoring (visible links to the precise source location, Ted Nelson) at the source level; a gradual migration, so 0% still passes (advisory), but the anchor target's slug and section must exist.
Synthesis citation integrity (cit.cite-consistency · cit.grounding · cit.anchor-evidence)
A piece synthesizing many sources follows Select→Read→Cite discipline — the declared source set (frontmatter) is the top set, and both the sources read and the sources cited in the body are subsets of it.
- cit.cite-consistency — every source cited in the body is registered in the declared source list (body ⊆ declaration). Citing an undeclared source is an editorial slip (omission).
- cit.grounding — a source offered as representative evidence must actually be read and used. When at least one of the source's direct-quote / key-claim items appears in the body as a substring, that is objective evidence of having read it (writing from a one-line summary by memory/guess risks divergence from the source). The deterministic lint blocks only the "never read at all" extreme; full read-through rests on editor self-discipline.
- cit.anchor-evidence — when a direct quote is placed in representative evidence, mark the citation location with a source section anchor (
[[slug#section]]; ko [[slug#섹션]]) — the same Xanadu principle applied to synthesis evidence. A gradual migration, so advisory.
Schema meta-use (cit.grade-meta · cit.cite-type-meta)
The synthesizing piece's narrative consciously reflects the evidence-grade ([fact]·[analysis]·[forecast]) and citation-type (cites:·references:·contradicts:·defines:) schema attached to sources — noting which grades the evidence base rests on, the dominant claimant, strong coupling (cites) vs context (references) — to deepen attribution. Confine attribution strength to factual statements; do not let it spill into verdict conclusions. Deterministic measurement (count_grade_meta·count_cite_type_meta) counts grade/cite-type meta expressions as advisory.
