 +
 +===== Discussion =====
 +
 +A Configuration Source provides one or more [[public:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:c:configuration_value|Configuration Values]] used in a [[public:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:n:node_configuration|Node Configuration]].
 +
 +Configuration Sources include controlled configuration files, environment settings, command-line arguments, configuration services, secret stores, databases, [[public:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:d:deployment_description|Deployment Descriptions]], inherited configurations, approved defaults, and authorised human input.
 +
 +The Configuration Source identifies the origin of a Configuration Value. Source authority identifies the person, organisation, policy, process, or other authority responsible for approving or controlling the source.
 +
 +Recording the Configuration Source supports [[public:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:p:provenance|Provenance]], [[public:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:r:reproducibility|Reproducibility]], validation, and [[public:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:t:traceability|Traceability]].

 +
 +===== Note =====
 +
 +A Configuration Source includes sufficient identifying information to distinguish it from other sources and revisions.
 +
 +The identifying information includes the source type, owner, authority, version, location, applicable period, protection requirements, and method used to verify its [[public:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:i:integrity|Integrity]].
 +
 +Where multiple Configuration Sources provide values for the same Configuration Parameter, an explicit precedence rule determines which value applies.
 +
 +===== Example =====
 +
 +A version-controlled configuration file containing the approved [[public:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:d:dds|DDS]] domain identifier and Quality of Service profile constitutes a Configuration Source.
