Show the hierarchy of entities in terms of their data sources types

Motivation

Modern data platforms usually contain a number of datasets with similar or even the same names. Entities that came from different data source can be distinguished by the data source name, however the whole situation depends on the parsing scope of the collector/adapter.

taking PostgreSQL as an example: if two tables have the same name but they are in different schemas, it'll lead to two datasets with the same name in the same data source. The user will have to take a look at ODDRNs or metadata to identify which dataset is which.

User story

As a user I'd like to be able to distinguish entities with the same names in the search and overview page by seeing the corresponded data source hierarchy and its values. E.g Name: "user", Schema: "public"
