/**
|

15
|
* An original source can be used in different ways.<BR>
|
|
16
|
* 1.) As a referencing system. The original source holds all information about the reference,
|
|
17
|
* the microReference (page, figure, ...), the identifier used in the source for the referenced object in the
|
|
18
|
* reference, a namespace that makes this identifier unique, the original name string that in
|
|
19
|
* general stores the representation of the referenced object within the source (if the string representation
|
|
20
|
* in the source differs from that one unsed in the CDM object)
|
|
21
|
*
|
|
22
|
* 2.) Dataprovenance: When importing data from another datasource important information like the identifier
|
|
23
|
* and it's namespace (e.g. tablename) as well as the datasource itself maybe stored in an original source.
|
|
24
|
* E.g. when importing SDD data here you may store the filename and the id used in the SDD file here.
|
|
25
|
*
|
|
26
|
* Starting with v3.3 we started to let this class be influenced by the PROV Ontology
|
|
27
|
* (http://www.w3.org/TR/2013/NOTE-prov-overview-20130430/). It may move further in this direction in
|
|
28
|
* future.
|
|
29
|
* The above mentioned ways to use the Original Source are now related to different activity types
|
|
30
|
* (http://www.w3.org/TR/2013/REC-prov-dm-20130430/#term-Activity) in PROV.
