RE: Versioning

Jacco,

Good point that we should look at earlier work.

I looked through the use cases at https://www.w3.org/TR/dwbp-ucr/ but there are only a few that explicitly address versioning. 

Two requirements were identified:

https://www.w3.org/TR/dwbp-ucr/#R-VocabVersion: "Vocabularies should include versioning information"
https://www.w3.org/TR/dwbp-ucr/#R-DataVersion: "If different versions of data exist, data versioning should be provided."

In DXWG, we could look a bit more into the requirements to express the possible *relationships* between versions of datasets which apparently DWBP did not do.

Makx.

@Phil, I think we can all agree on this. But I'm with Makx, this should not be a reason to stop us from collecting use cases relevant to different versions of versioning...

@all: To speed up the versioning use case collection process, would it make sense to look at our use cases in terms of a delta with the ones already collected in [1]?
Then the questions could be
- which of the version-related use cases collected by #dwbp would be also applicable to #dxwg
- are there important use cases missing from #dwbp we would like to add?

I briefly skimmed [1] and I think it does a pretty good job in covering the versioning-related requirements I had in mind.

Luiz, Makx, what do you think?
