<infoSource>

A party (person or organisation) which originated, distributed, aggregated or supplied the content or provided some information used to create or enhance the content.

Note

Usage note

User Note: If no role is applied the information source provided some information used to create or enhance the content and played no other role. Omitting role is equivalent to applying http://cv.iptc.org/newscodes/contentprodpartyrole/originfo as the only role value.

If a party did anything other than originate information a role attribute with one or more roles must be applied. The recommended vocabulary is the IPTC Content Production Party Role NewsCodes at http://cv.iptc.org/newscodes/contentprodpartyrole/

To indicate that a party has modified or enhanced the content use the contributor property.

If an entity plays more than one role, the different values of role should be added to the infoSource element as a qcode list.

Recommended IPTC NewsCodes for the role attribute: http://cv.iptc.org/newscodes/contentprodpartyrole/ with recommended Scheme Alias cpprole.

Note	This property previously used the Information Source Role CV http://cv.iptc.org/newscodes/infosourcerole/. All concepts in this CV have been set to retired, with a change note about the new Content Production Party Role CV and a `skos:exactMatch` link to the corresponding concept of the new CV.
