Importing the correct version of an ontology

Dear list,

I have a doubt:

To be able to refer to the correct version of an ontology, is the  
only way to encode the version information in the URI ?

The version information in the header is not clear (to me) how can be  
used for this.

And if I build an ontology that imports and extends other  
ontologies... I need to refer to a version of them! (think about bio- 
ontologies that have some level of dynamicity).

Any idea ?

best,
Andrea
