Are other source types needed in Events?

[schnuerle]

Currently we have this list of source types.

Should this list instead be well-known recommended values with the ability for people to make up others that are not on here between releases?

Please provide others values that you think should be added to this list in CDS.

source_type	Description
data_feed	directly from a provider data feed sent to the agency
camera	video or static image processing sensor to extract underlying data
above_ground	sensor deployed above ground
in_ground	sensor deployed in the ground
meter	a smart parking meter
in_person	an individual on site recording the event digitally or otherwise
other	sources not enumerated above

It could be that CDS includes more sensor properties in an object in the next CDS release. Detailed properties are currently outside of CDS, referenced by sensor_id or source_id.
