[Foundation-l] Oral Citations project: People are Knowledge

Linking the full audio allows the user to dig into the material without trusting your selection.
Then other editors can select other pieces, or remove your selection.

I personally don't equate "Selection" with "Interpretation".
To me interpretation is modifying the original source using other words.

 David how is an exact quote a summary or interpretation?
 An exact quote, backed up by the actual audio track is... exact.
 You are not summarizing it, and you are not interpreting it either.
 You are presenting it.

he point David is making is that you are selecting material to quote and
dd.
This is a problem that happens a lot anyway; you might have a lengthy piece
f audio, video or text that discusses material - picking a few points to
uote is in itself interpreting what it important. This is why secondary
ources are better - because they do the selection for us :)
