reporting services - Listing all Data Sources and their Dependencies (reports, items, etc) in SQL Server 2008 R2

Question

I am new to SQL Server, and I am sorry if there is an obvious solution to my question but I can't seem to find it.

I am looking to generate a report (or list) of all the data sources and their individual dependencies on an SQL Server 2008 R2 (reporting server).

I know that I can access each individual data source to get a list of all the items that are dependent on it. I have done this in the past but it is time consuming.

Is there a way to get a report that would display all the data sources and their dependent items?

Thanks in advance,

Marwan

The following (which was modified from what beargle posted earlier) does what I was looking for. This will list all the data sources by their actual name, and all their dependent items:

SELECT
    C2.Name AS Data_Source_Name,
    C.Name AS Dependent_Item_Name,
    C.Path AS Dependent_Item_Path
FROM
    ReportServer.dbo.DataSource AS DS
        INNER JOIN
    ReportServer.dbo.Catalog AS C
        ON
            DS.ItemID = C.ItemID
                AND
            DS.Link IN (SELECT ItemID FROM ReportServer.dbo.Catalog
                        WHERE Type = 5) --Type 5 identifies data sources
        FULL OUTER JOIN
    ReportServer.dbo.Catalog C2
        ON
            DS.Link = C2.ItemID
WHERE
    C2.Type = 5
ORDER BY
    C2.Name ASC,
    C.Name ASC;
