A feature in the goals of the API is to support 'data export'.

Motor freight carriers want to be able to download and archive all data from their TSP over a time-window.

The obvious complementary feature to export is import. We won't be specifying upload/import of open telematics data into TSPs via the API; however, to prepare for such an eventuality we should include a field in all data structures to identify what the source of the data was. This was merging and conflict resolution can be implemented in cases where carriers have mixed-fleet (multiple TSP) deployments.
