recordSource Property was deprecated in Working Group Notes 24 March 2022

At the time there was no alternative solution proposed for the use case where you need to acknowledge that an institution/organisation rather than a person created/minted the LtC record, for example an IH record harvested by GRSciColl?

For version 1 therefore the proposed solution is:
“In order to credit the source of a record you would attach an identifier to the RecordLevel Class with

source = ‘record derived from’ or 'record created by'
identifier = ‘the id/doi/etc. of the person or organisation that minted/wrote/created it’. “
