Source Authorities
A Source Authority defines who is responsible for a piece of data and what type of organization they are, such as a government agency, a mapping agency or an NGO. Recording the Source Authority is a first step toward understanding how authoritative the data is.
Source Authorities are used in other parts of Geoprism Registry:
A Data Source names the Source Authority that has authority over it.
When you import a spreadsheet, you can map alternative ID columns in your file to a Source Authority.
See Add a Source Authority and Managing an Existing Source Authority for more detail.
