+ * Representation of schema source. Representation of schema source could exists
+ * in various formats (Java types), depending on stage of processing, but
+ * representation MUST BE still result of processing of only single unit of schema
+ * source (file, input stream). E.g.:
+ * <ul>
+ * <li>{@link java.lang.String} - textual representation of source code
+ * <li>{@link java.io.InputStream} - input stream containing source code
+ * <li>{@link com.google.common.io.ByteSource} - source for input streams
+ * containing source code
+ * <li>Parsed AST - abstract syntax tree, which is result of a parser, but still
+ * it is not linked against other schemas.
+ * </ul>
+ *
+ * <p>
+ * Conversion between representations should be done via implementations of
+ * {@link SchemaSourceTransformation}.
+ *
+ * @param <T>
+ * Schema source representation type provided by this implementation
+ *
+ * @deprecated Replaced with {@link org.opendaylight.yangtools.yang.model.repo.spi.SchemaSourceProvider}
+ * and related APIs.
