The timeliness

How current the data is when it is used.

The part

What it is

The gap between an event happening and it being available. A daily refresh used for an hourly decision is producing yesterday’s answer.

Consistency across sources matters too: joining a real-time source with a daily one produces a picture that is neither.

The smallest level

The attributes it carries

Each attribute is one of the framework’s shared types. What a date is, and how it is written, is defined once for the whole model — the note here says what it means in this particular place.
