Datasource refers to a repository where data is stored and from which the Data Integrity Suite retrieves and manages data. It includes databases, files, cloud storage, or APIs. The term 'Connectors' is often used interchangeably with datasources, as it refers to the components that establish the connection between applications and these data repositories.
A datasource contains datasets, fields, and connections. The datasets are the collections of related data stored within the datasource, fields are the individual attributes or columns within these datasets, and connections are the interfaces that allow the suite to access and interact with the datasource.
