h1. Core entity: Datasource

A Datasource is here intended as the (metadata) description/representation of a provider exporting (meta)data about scholarly communication objects.

Based on the typology of the provider and of the exported material, a Datasource is classified according to the categorization defined by the vocabulary "dnet:datasource_typologies vocabulary":http://api.openaire.eu/vocabularies/dnet:datasource_typologies

Datasources can be collected from Datasources of type "Entity Registry".

|[[linking_entity_datasourceOrganization|Datasource_Organization]] | [[core_entity_organization|Organization]] |0..N| The Organization related to this Datasource. For example, if the Datasource is an institutional repository, the institution served by the repository is the related Organization |

The two major entity registries providing Datasources for Publication repositories and data repositories are, respectively, OpenDOAR and re3data. Datasources collected from those two entity registries feature more detailed information (see subclasses [[core_entity_opendoarDatasource|OpenDOAR Datasource]] and [[core_entity_re3dataDatasource|re3data Datasource]]).
