- [sourced_fact] URI pattern http://cv.iptc.org/newscodes/digitalsourcetype/{conceptID}; QCode form digsrctype:{conceptID}. · locator: URI pattern note · source: https://cv.iptc.org/newscodes/digitalsourcetype/
- [sourced_fact] Page states Copyright 2024 IPTC and that CC BY 4.0 applies to all NewsCodes. · locator: License note · source: https://cv.iptc.org/newscodes/digitalsourcetype/
- [upstream_claim] Research review verdict at export: reviewed (as of 2026-10-17). Recorded by the research pipeline, not a hub review outcome; evidence.review stays unreviewed until an independent reviewer records one.
