Versions

All CLOD documents will be of a specified Version. The Version definition describes the more advanced structure and rules used to build and read a CLOD document for the further processing of the data it contains. A CLOD document will be considered invalid by all validity checking and parsing tools if the data in or structure of the CLOD document does not conform to all the requirements and specifications of its Version.

Version Numbering

• Major — incremented for breaking changes that are incompatible with previous versions
• Minor — incremented for backwards-compatible additions or changes
• Patch — incremented for backwards-compatible bug fixes or clarifications
