Antoine Isaac adds a pointer to some related work:
http://www.w3.org/2006/07/SWD/Vocab/principles-20080316#Versions
He says it's unconclusive but might be useful.
I feel uneasy about the versioning idea because it is quite far removed from
our original linked data use
cases. With linked data, what you serve is the current version, and there is
usually no way to access older
versions, and I don't see much point in talking about something that you cannot
actually access.
in general, versioning in the RDF world is a complex problem, there have been
many proposals from
academia but nothing that seems to have been successful, so I'd rather wait and
see than try to solve it in
voiD.
Most of all, I would have to see some concrete deployed examples of datasets or
vocabularies where
versioning would be used.

I am not sure for datasets themselves, because it doesn't seem so practical to
create and make available different versions of the same dataset - except as
mirrors. For vocabularies used in datasets, I like the idea, because it lets
data
providers worried about the instability of vocabularies, tie their data to the
semantics of specific versions (which could be hosted by them, by the vocab
hoster,
or by third party services like schema-cache), while still making their data
interoperable. Whether data providers are, or should be worried about this (in
any,
or all cases), is something I confess I don't know. At any rate, I think we
should
encourage interested parties to experiment with this, inventing any new terms
in a
separate namespace (eg: open.vocab.org ), and if and when it proves useful, we
can
document it in the guide.
I was wondering whether void:vocabulary could be used to point to both
canonical,
and versioned, vocab uris. I think this would be overloading it though, and if
I was
to do this in my dataset, I would coin a new property or something.
