The DATA_SOURCES entity is the source of any collected data. The Data Source is therefore one or more data points. Typically a Data Source represents a Time Series of values.

The MEASURE_CATEGORIES and MEASURE_TYPES linked to DATA_SOURCES will then be "grouped" by a common Data Source to be a part of the same collection (e.g. the same Time Series of data). In this sense, the values of DATA_SOURCES fields REF_SYSTEM_ORGANIZATION and REF_SYSTEM_URL point to an organization / system that "owns" (or "is responsible for") the data in the Time Series, and not necessarily the organization performing the data entry of individual records.

The Blue Infinity team needs to decide, whether this purpose of DATA_SOURCES is aligned with it usage GHO Data Loader, or whether it is not relevant to the Loader.
