Convention. For example in an application deployment, we might want to
have a specific version listed in a data bag item by environment.

{
  "id": "my_app",
  "repository": 
"
 :my_company/my_app.git",
  "repository: {
    "production": "1.0.0",
    "staging": "1.2.0",
    "development": "master"
  }
}

We use this pattern in Opscode's public "application" cookbook.
