Clarify whether a Enterprise Data Inventory can catalog data created solely by other governments or agencies

[philipashlock]

Based on the discussion in #296 there have been instances where agencies have included other agencies and even other governments data as part of their Public Data Listing. Should we make it more explicit that the purpose of the Enterprise Data Inventory and Public Data Listing is to inventory data managed and produced by that agency?

OTOH, if an agency wants to curate a collection of pointers to other data sets (or maintain public mirrors of those data sets, not merely republish them) they should have guidance on how to do so.

I think the solution is adding the source field as mentioned in #393. Otherwise I foresee two issues:

1. Remixed data never being cataloged or inventoried &
2. Agencies not being able to dogfood their data.json as effectively as they want because items are missing.
