R7.3

Material and Source Register

The register is intended to make the material chain reviewable and to expose transformation, anonymisation, access limits, and missing sources.

Use

  1. Assign each source a stable ID.
  2. Record original and derivative files separately where transformation is material.
  3. Do not publish the register without a separate privacy and harm assessment.
