The ECHO metadata model includes an element named PGEVersionClass which is defined as "This entity stores basic descriptive characteristics related to the Program Generation Executable (PGE) associated with a granule.". It includes two child elements: PGEName and PGEVersion. The definition of PGEVersion is "Version of the Delivered Algorithm Package that applied when produce the granule. (sic)". These two elements seem to mean the same thing.
