Modeling various sources related to Wikimedia Commons files

Case	equivalent to wikitext "source = ..."	Example file	Statement	Comment
File from the web	https://npg.si.edu/object/npg_NPG.66.54		source of file file available on the internet edit described at URL http://npg.si.edu/object/npg_NPG.66.54 retrieved 24 March 2020 0 references add reference add value	If you are uploading a file that originally came from an external website, you should provide a link to the web page (i.e., the url) on which the image or file is displayed (that is, not the web address of the file itself, but rather the web page containing the file). If the file is not in public domain, than the URL should also include information about its copyright status. Optional qualifiers: Since content of the page might be changing with time, a qualifier retrieved (P813) should be added to indicate a date when the source was added or when the URL held the content of the file. Use archive URL (P1065) to provide link to an archive page where the original content of the page can be found, in case the page changed or no longer exist.
File from the web with the name of the source	[http://npg.si.edu/object/npg_NPG.66.54 Netherlands Institute for Art History]		source of file file available on the internet edit described at URL http://npg.si.edu/object/npg_NPG.66.54 operator Netherlands Institute for Art History 0 references add reference add value

Own work by uploader	{{Own}}		source of file original creation by uploader edit 0 references add reference add value	Use this if you are uploading a file or image that you have created entirely by yourself. This is equivalent to the upload wizard option "This file is my own work" during the "Release rights" portion of the process. Before adding this property to images by other uploaders, please ensure that the file uses {{Own}} template and that the name in the author field matches the name of the original uploader.
Own work by original uploader	{{Own work by original uploader}}	API	source of file own work by the original uploader edit 0 references add reference add value	Use this in case of files transferred from other Wikimedia projects, when the work was created by the original uploader of the work (on some other wiki), not the user who transferred the image to Commons.

Use published in (P1433) for other publications there the image was printed. published in (P1433) is especially important when license depends on year of publication.

(other cases still under discussion)	{{Self-photographed}} {{Self-scanned}} {{Own based}} {{Author source}} {{Extracted from}} {{Derived from}} etc.
