A node has a number of inputs it requires for operation. 
When the node is first created it may have no sources
attached to the inputs of the node. Its like the input
"slots" are there, but there is nothing in the "slots"
yet. When a node is "plugged into" the input "slot",
this is called a source for that input. 

Likewise a node has an output "slot", which may 
be empty if there is not a node downstream from the
original node. You can "plug in" a sink to the output
of a node.

Thats what I have been using as distinction so
far. 

Now if you take a look at GeglNode in the gtk-docs on 
www.gegl.org, it should make sense.
