jonasfinal:versionId Concept

A version of a spatial object is associated with a version identifier allowing to distinguish two versions of the same spatial object. Versions are usually also associated with temporal information allowing a user to analyse the evolution of a spatial object. EXAMPLE If a spatial object type Building has an attribute functionalUse, the value of the attribute changes due to a change in the way the building is used, and the life-cycle rules of the data set specify that a change in this attribute value will result in a new version, then a new version will be created and the existing version will be marked as superseded in its life-cycle information – often by specifying an end date/time for the lifespan of the version.
