Detailed Description

Abstract base class for data sources.

Data sources represent any sort of data that can be placed or loaded into a target region. Sources may be a single blob of data read from a file or may consist of many segments.

The three most important features of data sources are:

• Sources may be multi-segmented.
• Sources and/or segments can have a "natural" or default target location.
• The target for a source may be taken into consideration when the source describes itself.
