Isn't the difference between Data Source and Service the presence of business logic? (without entering into DDD terminology)

Maybe data source is not the best term here. A data source does not directly refer to the persistence layer of data, so I can source data from a DB via an API/Interface that also include embedded business logic; the data source is the API, not the DB.
Nonetheless, it's also true that a view on a database can include a business logic. A query can include business logic as well, unless it's a select * from .... The example of the trigger is quite correct.

Alternatively, you can use the [words][link-ref-name] followed by [link-ref-name]: https://... syntax like below 🤷

Perhaps we should add the various "Namespacing" terms because we like to use that specific terminology frequently but it doesn't always mean the same thing to everyone. |

As discussed in the WG this is the glossary around I initially published on https://theguildoss.notion.site/Distributed-GraphQL-Glossary-890a38ac09c149eb84403ecf08c64b9c
Feel free to add suggestions and terminology from other ecosystems, languages, and solutions.
Adding this as an early draft for people to comment on, it definitely needs a few edits from the terminology already defined within the first meeting.
