8 years ago In Recommendations, W3C seems to use all of "This version", "Latest version", and "Previous version". If TDWG has no current practice, I would favor following W3C's, mainly because W3C's docs are probably more familiar to most of the audience than those of other standards bodies.

8 years ago How are these encoded in RDF?

8 years ago I took a look at the RDF in the doc that Jonathan referenced above. It uses predicates from what seems to be a W3C-specific vocabulary (which I've put here for reference). Many of the terms in that vocabulary seem to duplicate more well-known Dublin Core terms. So even if we follow the W3C human-readable "Previous version", I'd prefer to use dcterms:replaces rather than http://www.w3.org/2000/10/swap/pim/doc#obsoletes

8 years ago At the 2015-05-04 call, it was agreed to go with Bob's suggestion. Section 3.2.3.1 was edited accordingly.
What is the standard practice (if any) for the use of "Supersedes" vs. "Previous version", and "Superseded by" vs. "Replaced by"? Does TDWG have a consistent precedent? Is there a general practice among standards organizations?
