Is there a way to obtain the meta data of a data bag object? For example, a way to get the time stamp of the last update or a check sum of the object.

I have hundreds of nodes that will be processing the elements of the data bag, which could be hundreds, and I want a way to filter out those which have already been processed. If the data bag item had been changed since the last run, I want to make sure it is processed.
