What is a Web Source?
Description
A Web source is the content you receive when sending a web request into the web. A web request can take the form of a URI, URL, SPARQL query etc.
Sending a web request into the web will produce, if the corresponding resource exists, a web response in the form of an web page, HTML document, a picture, a RDF graph, an error message etc.
Hint: You can simply add Types according to your research question, such as "Blog", "open edition", "streaming platform" etc. by defining Controlled vocabularies​
Examples of types of Web Sources
Examples of type of a Web Source include: 
Web page
Blog
RDF graphics
URL of an image
Streaming plateforme

Hint: If you need inform about specific characteristics of your Web Source (like its programming language etc), check whether an appropriate profile exists and otherwise contact the Geovistory team to help you out.
