!!! Overview
[{$pagename}] refers to the [data] [relationship] to an [authoritative Entity]. 

[{$pagename}] is an [attribute] of [Data Provenance] and could be provided as [metadata].

[{$pagename}] should be considered during [Data Classification]

Essentially, [{$pagename}] allows for a [Relying Party] to better understand the process by which an [data] is generated and to determine whether or not it is from an acceptable [authoritative Entity]. 

Recommended values for this element include:
* [Authoritative] - The attribute’s value was acquired directly from the source of authority. For example, an [Attribute Provider] has received a driver's license number directly from the state DMV which issued the license.
* [Sourced] - The attribute's value has been acquired from one or more non-authoritative sources. For example, an [Attribute Provider] purchases a driver's license number from a third-party [data aggregator].
* [Self-Asserted] - The [assertion Value] to the [Attribute Provider] directly by the individual with whom the [attribute] value is associated. For example, an [Attribute Provider] receives a driver’s license number directly from the individual who claims ownership of the license through a web form or questionnaire. [Self-Asserted] attributes may also be verified or unverified.
* [Derived] - The [assertion Value] was produced through the analysis and manipulation of related [attribute] values and data. For example, if an [Attribute Provider] requests a user’s age, but it’s not on file, then the [Attribute Provider] may leverage the user’s date of birth to assert age.

Taken in conjunction with the accuracy [metadata], this information can enable the [Relying Party] to better understand the [Data Provenance] of an attribute value, how it relates to its authoritative source, and how it has been verified — all of which help an [Relying Party] establish a more complete picture of the value’s [Level Of Assurance].

!! [Privacy Considerations]
[{$pagename}] might involve divulging an [entity]'s relationship with a particular [Authoritative Entity] which could allow for broader [Identity Correlation] and the sharing of [data] that the [entity] might not know is being passed on and might not [consent] to be passed on.
