Markus,

Your scale is fun but the reasons attached to each level might bias the 
choice.

For instance:

I put the level #8 on #sibling, not because it makes things uglier, but 
because it is not relevant for my case:

     a spectrum is not sibling of a source

they belong to different species as François said.

I put #3 on #co-derived because it matches the case but I do not really 
like the '-'

I propose not to confuse the discussion by opening a new topic about the 
concept of "primary purpose" :-) and *forget it*
