Hi Yawei, Good question! My understanding is that the resources collection refers to the set of UUIDs identifying the openstack entities (e.g. instance, volume, image ... etc.) being metered, whereas the source refers to the origin of the metering data and is effectively unused right now as there is only a single source currently (though we could in the future for example distinguish between metric and metering data in this way).
