      <Paragraph>The parameters for your modeling environment are defined and you
		created the components that can be used in the modeling process.</Paragraph>
      <Paragraph>The next step is to define one or more versions in which you can
		create the model items you need to build a business model.</Paragraph>
      <Paragraph>To make enterprise structure models, business models, and
		related repository model items uniquely identifiable, you must model them in a
		specific, user-definable version. Versions can be derived from other
		versions.</Paragraph>
      <Paragraph>A new version, which is derived from a source version, includes
		all the models and model items of the source version without copying them to
		the new version. Therefore, any modifications made in the source version, even
		after the derived-from structure has been defined, will apply to the new
		version.</Paragraph>
      <Paragraph>However, modifications in the new version will only apply to
		that version.</Paragraph>
