This is a type used in Stencila Schema for representing an excerpt from another creative work.

It exists to preserve the distinction between quoted or extracted material and original document content, while allowing references back to the source work. This is useful in research, review, and annotation workflows where excerpts need structured attribution.

Key properties include the excerpted content and links to the source work or location.
