I think it is simply a string, compared within OpenOffice using a string comparison (which is not optimal: if you have version "99.0" and version "100.0", version 100.0 comes before 99.0 since it starts with a "1").
I use "YYYY.MM.DD" like Marco, so "2015.05.02". It is fine to use "0.1", "0.2" and similar but "0.9" is not considered to come before "0.10" so keep that in mind. I believe more exotic numbering like "0.9-alpha2" is not accepted by the Extensions site, but is accepted by OpenOffice.
It's been a few years since I last looked at this, but I don't think things have changed much. At the time, I settled for using "YYYY.MM.DD" and I've been consistently using that pattern.
