+/**
+ * Defines the interface for media source plugins.
+ *
+ * Media sources provide the critical link between media items in Drupal and the
+ * actual media itself, which typically exists independently of Drupal. Each
+ * media source works with a certain kind of media. For example, local files and
+ * YouTube videos can both be catalogued in a similar way as media items, but
+ * they need very different handling to actually display them.
+ *
+ * Each media type needs exactly one source. A single source can be used on many
+ * media types.
+ *
+ * Examples of possible sources are:
+ * - File: handles local files,
+ * - Image: handles local images,
+ * - oEmbed: handles resources that are exposed through the oEmbed standard,
+ * - YouTube: handles YouTube videos,
+ * - SoundCould: handles SoundCloud audio,
+ * - Instagram: handles Instagram posts,
+ * - Twitter: handles tweets,
+ * - ...
+ *
+ * Their responsibilities are:
+ * - Defining how media is represented (stored). Media sources are not
+ *   responsible for actually storing the media. They only define how it is
+ *   represented on a media item (usually using some kind of a field).
+ * - Providing thumbnails. Media sources that are responsible for remote
+ *   media will generally fetch the image from a third-party API and make
+ *   it available for the local usage. Media sources that represent local
+ *   media (such as images) will usually use some locally provided image.
+ *   Media sources should fall back to a pre-defined default thumbnail if
+ *   everything else fails.
+ * - Validating a media item before it is saved. The entity constraint system
+ *   will be used to ensure the valid structure of the media item.
+ *   For example, media sources that represent remote media might check the
+ *   URL or other identifier, while sources that represent local files might
+ *   check the MIME type of the file.
+ * - Providing a default name for a media item. This will save users from
+ *   manually entering the name when it can be reliably set automatically.
+ *   Media sources for local files will generally use the filename, while media
+ *   sources for remote resources might obtain a title attribute through a
+ *   third-party API. The name can always be overridden by the user.
+ * - Providing metadata specific to the given media type. For example, remote
+ *   media sources generally get information available through a
+ *   third-party API and make it available to Drupal, while local media sources
+ *   can expose things such as EXIF or ID3.
+ * - Mapping metadata to the media item. Metadata that a media source exposes
+ *   can automatically be mapped to the fields on the media item. Media
+ *   sources will be able to define how this is done.
