Understanding electronic legislation requires a comprehension of its life- cycle and the events and corresponding transformations that make up this lifecycle. A metadata description attached to the legislative resource represents a time point in this lifecycle. In this paper we advocate an event-based model of version management for legislation. We are currently developing a Content Management System (CMS) based on this model. This paper discusses the event-based model, sketches the infrastructure of the CMS, and relates it to timestamping in METALex documents.
