Yes, most OBO ontologies derive the version from the ISO-8601 of the date. This is used in the versionIRI, e.g. /obo/releases/YYYY-MM-DD/<artifact> and often in things like github releases tags. See for example: https://github.com/EnvironmentOntology/envo/releases I like semver for software and can see it working well for schema-type ontologies and upper ontologies.
