An example where the identifier has no hint about its source is AusFungi
identifiers. E.g. 5ef5c670-bf54-4cfc-9e39-5a1c56e02617
-> https://bie.ala.org.au/species/5ef5c670-bf54-4cfc-9e39-5a1c56e02617.
When I see this identifier out of context from a species page, there is no way to determine where the source of this name is from -> see http://namematching-ws.ala.org.au/api/search?q=Clitocybe%20odora

This is a feature request - to have a JSON attribute in the search results that shows the name authority or source for a given name.
E.g.
"name source": "AFD"
or it could be a URI to ensure uniqueness.The rationale for this feature is ARGA would like to add a flag on records that are from official Australian sources, like AFD, APNI, APC and FungiMap.
I realise I can do this by inferring it from the matched
"taxonConceptID": "https://id.biodiversity.org.au/node/apni/2890419",
but having a dedicated field would be nicer.
