    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.\nOntology mapping rationale: - class_uri is prov:Entity because matching sources are traceable\n  entities that contribute to entity resolution decisions\n- close_mappings includes skos:mappingRelation as matching sources\n  establish relationships between name variants across sources\n- related_mappings includes prov:PrimarySource (sources of evidence)\n  and schema:PropertyValue (source/name/score as property values)"
