Kalenderversie

Kalenderversie is a Dutch term used to denote a version or edition of a document, publication, or dataset that is tied to a specific calendar year. The designation serves to distinguish content that is valid for a particular year from other editions that may apply to different years.

Etymology and meaning

The term combines kalendar (calendar) and versie (version or edition). It is part of a broader practice in publishing and information management to label year-specific releases so users can identify the edition corresponding to a given timeframe.

Usage and contexts

Kalenderversies commonly appear in annual guides, manuals, handbooks, or reference works where information changes year by year (for example, holidays, rates, or regulations). In digital contexts, a kalenderversie may refer to a time-bound data release or software edition intended to reflect the state of affairs for that particular year. The label helps users and systems differentiate between editions and access the correct, year-relevant content.

Distinction from related terms

The concept is related to but distinct from a general annual edition (jaarlijkse editie) or a reprint. The emphasis of kalenderversie is the explicit association with a specific calendar year, which can be important for accuracy and regulatory compliance.

Limitations

The term is primarily used in Dutch-language contexts and may not be widely understood outside them. When used, it should be accompanied by the year to avoid ambiguity.
