References

Texts reference one another. A reference links point or interval in one text with a point or an interval in another (or the same) text.

References can be external to the texts they link, e.g., parallel statements in Talmud or sources in Shulchan Aruch.

References can have different semantics, which we should store:

  • one end comments on the other
  • one end proves or illustrates the other
  • one end transcribes or translates the other

References can have different "strengths".

References should be reversable: enumerate references that end in a given interval.
