Mapping Schema change request: property "Version" of the categories "Terminology" and "Software"

In our Mapping Schema v1.0 within the categories "Software" and "Terminology" there are the (similar) properties "terminologyVersion" and "softwareVersion" which have the occurence "0-1".

We (Hub Health) see this as a problem because it means we need one entry per version in our mapping. For example, if we include SNOMED CT in the terminologies, it would mean we have to add a new entry every six months because that is their release cycle for new versions.

And how would we recognize the different versions by the resource name? The version would have to be included into the resource name somehow. That means we would have entries like "SNOMED CT / Jan 2020", "SNOMED CT / Juli 2020" etc.

The solution to this problem would be to change the Occurence to "0-n", so that one can store multiple versions for one software or one terminology. There would be one basic entry e.g. "SNOMED CT" which includes the different versions as part of this entry.

Would you agree to this change? Or do you have other opinions on this, CCT1 members? @h.kollai @Witold.Arndt @markus.kubin @a.strupp @j.broeder @karl-uwe.stucky @clemster @ccurdt @esoeding

Since this affects our complete mapping entries of these 2 categories, we would need a quick solution here. Thank you in advance!
