Use of "Supersedes" vs. "Previous version"

[baskaufs]

What is the standard practice (if any) for the use of "Supersedes" vs. "Previous version", and "Superseded by" vs. "Replaced by"?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?

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.

How are these encoded in RDF?

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

At the 2015-05-04 call, it was agreed to go with Bob's suggestion. Section 3.2.3.1 was edited accordingly.
