Documentation:
This element holds the current version of the definition. Versions are integers, starting at 0 and incrementing every time a definition reaches ACCEPTED status.

During this period the definition will maintain a version of 1. When the changes have been approved, the definition status will become ACCEPTED again, but the will now have a version of 2.
