Source

A citeable piece of prior art that a Kanonak resource builds on or responds to - an external standard, an existing implementation, or a design discussion. A Source's display name and description use the conventional rdfs.label / rdfs.comment (and the universal documentation property for long-form prose); sourceUrl is the external URL where it can be read. The typed citation properties (buildsOn, informedBy, divergesFrom, conformsTo) point at it to record why it influenced the citing resource. External links live in sourceUrl, never inside a [[reference]] placeholder - those resolve Kanonak resources through the import closure, not URLs.
