Source 02 / Context

Information is everywhere. Knowing the source is becoming more important.

Text, images and answers are increasingly generated by systems. The question is shifting from "what is the answer?" to "where does this come from?". Provenance is becoming a core part of trustworthy information.

Infrastructure that makes sources discoverable, comparable and verifiable could play a meaningful role in the Dutch information landscape.
