Data package standard is not versioned

[relet]

AFAICS the datapackage standard contains no field describing which version of the standard the package adheres to.

What do you think the attribute should be called? Perhaps:

  standard_version: {integer}

[relet]

I'm pretty indifferent about the name, but the data type should probably not be integer.

• There is already a published version of the standard called "1.0beta2" (unless I missed another version number elsewhere).
• You require the http://semver.org/ format for data package versioning.

Now the string "beta", and numbering a beta version 1.0 does not match semantic versioning standards currently.
Imho, it would be most consistent to make it a semver string, and require semver format afterwards.

Propose

dp-version: "{semver-string}"

[rufuspollock]

Update that to:

"datapackage_version": "{semver-string}"
