What does the "Source System" refer to in the Caboodle Data Model?

The "Source System" in the Caboodle Data Model refers specifically to the system from which data is extracted. This term identifies the origin of data that is collected for processing, integration, and analysis within the data model. Understanding the source system is vital because it allows data analysts and stakeholders to trace back the origins of the data, ensuring clarity about its reliability, context, and relevant characteristics. Additionally, knowing the source system helps in maintaining data integrity and understanding how different datasets relate to and impact one another.

Other aspects, like data structure or tools for analysis, pertain to different components or functionalities within the overall framework of the Caboodle Data Model rather than directly defining the source of the data itself.
