This must be an identifier to an exact page/location that supports the user in verifying that the data entry comports with the source of the representation being created--i.e., it cannot be a website on which the source can be found by foraging around.

derivedFrom: When you are creating a derivative framework or competency that modifies the source framework, use derivedFrom to identify the relationship between the framework or competency you are modifying and the source used..
