I wrote an article on Version Control, Bulletin last year.
If you do not have access to the RMS archives let me know.

Subject: Version Control
Does anyone know if there is an accepted 'standard' for applying version
control to documents?
We have recently discovered that there is a huge difference in the was
version controls are added to documents across the authority.
Admittedly
in the absence of any corporate guidance users/creators have applied
their
own logic. There is a difficulty understanding what is meant by the
terms 'draft' and 'version 1/2/3', etc.
If there is a standard, defintion or useful guide I would be grateful if
someone could point me in the right direction.
Thanks
Claire Park
