@riccardoAlbertoni , I suggest we discuss this change in the next DCAT meeting before merging.

I see a number of issues if we replace "version" with "revision":

  1. If the problem is what "version" means, then we need also to define what a revision is.
  2. If we use "revision", then it's a bit odd to call the property dcat:version
  3. The two points above apply also to all the other properties related to versioning.

About the original issue (i.e., support to both text and numbers), I suggest we revise the definition as per what said in the usage note:

The version indicator (name or identifier) of a resource.

I agree. So I've changed the phrasing as you have suggested.

@kcoyle, @agreiner: Are you ok with this phrasing?

should we continue the discussion in https://github.com/w3c/dxwg/issues/1442? one of the arguments was that we shouldn't use 'version' to define 'version', and that's why 'revision' was seen as an alternative - I agree we would probably need further clarification

@agbeltran see https://github.com/w3c/dxwg/issues/1442#issuecomment-1033158236

Does it sound convincing to you?
