network source

A network source is a feature table whose features compose one of a utility network's datasets. The features are used to build the network index. A utility network has multiple network sources containing related information. Some network sources contain devices appropriate for each domain network. For example, a network source for an electric utility network might be a feature table named "Electric Distribution Device" representing electric devices like switches and transformers. All utility networks have network sources representing physical structures such as an "Electric Support Pole" or "Electric Substation Boundary". Each network source has asset groups and types.
