Revisieversie

Revisieversie is a neologism used to describe a revised version of a text produced after a cycle of revision in collaborative editing. The term functions as a portmanteau of revision and version, signaling an intermediate artifact in the editing workflow rather than a final edition. In practice, a revisieversie often carries notes about changes, a tracked-changes record, or a delta against previous drafts, and it may be shared with team members, clients, or editors to validate the latest set of alterations.

Origin and usage context: The word has appeared mainly in informal online editing communities and multilingual workflows. Its exact definition can vary by group, reflecting local conventions about what constitutes a revision, a version, or a publishable draft. As a concept, the revisieversie sits between an initial draft and a final edition, emphasizing the process of revision rather than the ultimate publication state.

Characteristics: A revisieversie is typically marked by an explicit revision history, contributor attributions, and a timestamp. It may be stored in document-management systems or version-control environments and can be used to track progression, gather feedback, and coordinate approvals. It differs from “final” or “published” versions in that it represents an ongoing step rather than a conclusive product.
