term: Attribution

[wion]

Transferring from old registry. Apparently this is an analytics term, according to the only content in the original draft file:

In analytics, an attempt to causally identify the reasons content is used or not. For example, attribution can look at sources of referral, or examine at what point people opt out of a sign up process.

That could be reworked into a suitable summary, but the definition would need to be developed more to reach production status. Likely components include:

1. main definition para(s)
2. potential figure
3. real-world examples of use
4. at least 2 references (minimum)
