public com.google.common.base.Optional<String> getVersionIdentifier()
This identifier can be used to compare this entity with a remote one. As not the whole entity has to be sent this reduces the request overhead.
Actual use cases can be checking whether this entity is still current with regards to the remote entity, and ensuring that a update/delete operation is done on the expected version of the remote entity.
