[Data-modeling] Add page number(s) to "Quotation"

[Ed Laurent]

I'm thinking of using the "Quotation" type to store quotes from published
works but need a page number property because page numbers are often
required when citing quotations. It appears that the page number of the
quote would need to be added as a disabiguator so that this data can be
entered when the "Quotation" type is linked as a property of another type.
Does this seem reasonable?

I also see that "Author" (linked to "Quotations" property of "Person") is a
property of "Quotation", and I'm assuming that is for instances when the
quotation is not from a published source. Otherwise, it is adding
denormalization. If this is the case, wouldn't another name be more
appropriate than "Author" (e.g., "Quoted person") to distinguish it from
"Author" of quoted publications?
