Naming conventions

Versions of external resources used in the context of the SPHN infrastructure and that are not provided in RDF are uniquely identified with a code composed of the resource short name and the version number of the resource. This code should be used whenever it is necessary to identify the exact version of the resource being referenced. This applies to resources not provided in RDF.
