It is possible that the `recording-<label>` entity uses terms that could be confused with metadata field values, such as `MeasurementType` or `SamplingFrequency`. In that case, the lowest metadata level available should always be interpreted as the most reliable information. For instance, if the file name contains `recording-1000hz` but the `SamplingFrequency` metadata indicates a sampling frequency of 100Hz, data **MUST** be interpreted as being sampled at 100 Hz. Similarly, if the entity `recording-ecg` is used, but the `MeasurementType` metadata of the contained columns indicate “ppg” and “Ventilation”, the data **MUST** be interpreted as PPG and Ventilation, and not ECG.
