data sources
Where facts originate
Data sources are the origins from which information is collected or retrieved.
In research, data sources might be surveys, interviews, or archives.
In computing and business intelligence, the term refers to databases, APIs, spreadsheets, or external feeds that supply information to applications: The dashboard pulls from multiple data sources.
The quality of analysis depends heavily on the reliability of its data sources.
