Time and provenance are part of the data.

Preserve source observation time separately from publication or retrieval time. A newer file does not automatically contain a newer measurement.

Handle unavailable fields explicitly, respect the published freshness policy and display the geographic area being reported. Integrations should not substitute an old value and describe it as live.
