  MatchingSource:
      description: >-
        Source that contributed to name consensus during entity resolution.
        Records the source identifier, the name variant from that source,
        and a match score indicating confidence in the match.
        
        Ontology mapping rationale:
        - class_uri is prov:Entity because matching sources are traceable
          entities that contribute to entity resolution decisions
        - close_mappings includes skos:mappingRelation as matching sources
          establish relationships between name variants across sources
        - related_mappings includes prov:PrimarySource (sources of evidence)
          and schema:PropertyValue (source/name/score as property values)
      class_uri: prov:Entity
      close_mappings:
