I think first of all, a version is not a specialized type of identity.
I would roll identity and identifier into one (identifier is the token of
the identity)
Version is an attribute of "resource" IMO. It usually is denoted with a
major_version.minor_version.release in software but I think it is too
granular so I would just stop at version and not include version identifiers
or date-time string etc.

This is a just a noodle. But, I was trying to see how versions fitted
with the resource model and came up with ...
Version
An identity associated with a resource that establishes a time and/or
place where the resource is located.
Resources are generally time varying in nature – accessing a resource
at one time will often lead to a different outcome than accessing it
at another time. As a result, it may be necessary to identify a
resource at a point in time – in effect to identify a specific version
of a resource.
