Please, ANSWER this question AT https://ask.fiware.org/question/633/at-datamodels-whats-the-difference-between-timestamp-and-datemodified/
Question:
At DataModels, What's the difference between 'timestamp' and 'dateModified'?
Description:
In some datamodels are used 2 different attribute name to represent time instant,  timestamp or dateModified.
For exemple on Device datamodel the attribute batteryLevel are used timestamp and on configuration, dateModified.
dateModified : It captures the last modification timestamp of this attribute.
timestamp: Timestamp when the last update of the attribute happened. This value can also appear as a FIWARE TimeInstant
It's sounds quite similar. The difference between this two attributes justify use a two different names?
Check for the existence of the same attribute on any of the other models and reuse it, if pertinent.
