Google don't like it when you use same content across multiple sites, according to some.
Is there any way to annotate/tag a block of content with the "source".
Something like an attribute:
<div original-content="http://some.url">
The purpose is solely to let Google that we have duplicated the content (I.e. not as part of a search ranking strategy). Search engines could then use this information somehow.

Looks like the meta tag you want is
meta name=”original-source” content=”[url]”
However it looks like that is only for an entire page.
Use the canonical tag, which tells the web engine crawler that the text is duplicated from the original website.
Example:
Place this in the header of your HTML page (in the duplicated content page)
<link rel="canonical" href="http://www.original-website.com" />

No, HTML has no such element or attribute.
If you quote the content (in a q or blockuote element), you could use the cite attribute. But you must not use these elements for anything other than quotes.
If the whole document is duplicated (or is a subset), you could use the canonical link type. But you must not use this if only part of the document is duplicated while the other parts are different.
