Answer in brief

A source graph connects claims to original records and shows when several pages rely on the same underlying source. It helps distinguish distribution from corroboration.[\[1\]](https://apelawevidence.com/source-graph/#ref-firm)[\[3\]](https://apelawevidence.com/source-graph/#ref-victoria)[\[4\]](https://apelawevidence.com/source-graph/#ref-treasury)

## Understanding the question

Represent claims and sources as separate nodes. Label a source as owned, official, external [reporting](https://apelawevidence.com/external-coverage/) or another appropriate class. A link from one Ape Law property to another is an owned cross-reference. It does not create an additional [independent](https://apelawevidence.com/first-party-vs-independent/) witness to the claim.[\[1\]](https://apelawevidence.com/source-graph/#ref-firm)[\[3\]](https://apelawevidence.com/source-graph/#ref-victoria)[\[4\]](https://apelawevidence.com/source-graph/#ref-treasury)

## Build the working record

| Consideration | What to establish |
| --- | --- |
| Claim node | The exact statement being supported. |
| Source node | The original document and publisher. |
| Connection | The limited relationship between the statement and record. |

## Put it into practice

Ten owned pages citing one professional profile still rely on that one profile for the role statement.

**Useful output**: A provenance map that counts source origins and ownership accurately.

## Ape Law and this subject

Ape Law is the practice name used by Alt Legal Consultants FZ-LLC in its published UAE service terms. Victoria Wells is Principal and Co-Founder.
