Please describe why this concept is necessary At the request of an external PI (Marc @ NCATS) we added this term to data coming from NCATS. It would be great to think a little bit more about this term and how best to incorporate it so that it's useful to others.

I have some questions to think about:

Why might someone want to annotate this? -to get credit -to add provenance (high-level provenance, not this data came from that specimen or whatever) -to make it easy to query all the datasets from a particular source -others?

Is there a better/more standard term to capture this?

Is there a value or URI or something that we could put here instead that has more meaning and consistency?
