Slot: sources (multivalued)

Description: A set of RetrievalSources, which traces where the statement expressed in an Association came from. For example, the provenance of a Gene-Chemical Edge might be traced through the Translator Resource that provided it (e.g. MolePro) to one or more intermediate aggregator resources (e.g. ChEMBL), and finally to the resource that originally created/curated it (e.g. ClinicalTrials.org).

comments:
- Note that source retrieval provenance concerns the mechanical retrieval and transformation
  of data between web accessible information systems. It does not trace the source
  of knowledge back to specific publications or data sets. And it is not concerned
  with the reasoning, inference or analysis activities that generate knowledge in
  the first place (this is instead covered by 'knowledge level' and 'agent type' properties).
