Re: [dxwg] Version delta [RVSDA]

@makxdekkers - yes, I agree it needs to be part of a broader/more thorough discussion on versioning (persummably under action #90 ).  I also agree that these are both examples of dct:Dataset so could use some links as you describe,  if that mechanism is available.  

What the publisher is usually trying to achieve by calling the new set of published data a new version of a pre-existing set is to signall that its a successor or evolution of what was previously available, and perhaps _in the publishers perspective_ essentially replaces it (eventually).  It can also help with alignment with non-technical documentation like contracts of supply (though that usually gets confused anyway).  I'll put together some coherant notes and we can discuss under #90. 

The point I was trying to make here is that version delta info can cover a wide range of stuff, not all of it that would come from some easily referenceable process tool like github.  [Assuming I've understood the suggestion, of course]
