[dxwg] Confused by the eg-ga example

== Confused by the eg-ga example ==
Hi Rob, hi Nicholas,

I've had a closer look at the profiles ontology and the examples and I think I begin to understand the model. However, I'm a bit confused by the [eg-ga example](https://github.com/w3c/dxwg/blob/gh-pages/profiledesc/examples/eg_ga.ttl). It first says (all turtles reduced to the bare minimum):
```
<http://pid.geoscience.gov.au/def/schema/ga/ISO19115-1-2014>
    a prof:Profile ;
    prof:resource <http://pid.geoscience.gov.au/def/schema/ga/schematron-rules-ga.sch> ,
        <http://pid.geoscience.gov.au/def/schema/ga/ISO19115-1-2014> ,
        <http://pid.geoscience.gov.au/def/schema/ga/ISO19115-3-2016> . 
```
That's fine. But then it goes on to say:
```
<http://pid.geoscience.gov.au/def/schema/ga/schematron-rules-ga.sch>
    a prof:ImplResourceDesc;
    rdfs:label "GA Profile Schematron";
    prof:resource <http://pid.geoscience.gov.au/def/schema/ga/schematron-rules-ga.sch> ;
    prof:resourceType eg:Schematron ;
    dct:format "text/xml" .

<http://pid.geoscience.gov.au/def/schema/ga/ISO19115-1-2014>
    a prof:ImplResourceDesc;
    rdfs:label "GA Profile Document";
    prof:resource <http://pid.geoscience.gov.au/def/schema/ga/schematron-rules-ga.sch> ;
    prof:resourceType eg:WebPage ;
    dct:format "text/html" .

<http://pid.geoscience.gov.au/def/schema/ga/ISO19115-3-2016>
    a prof:ImplResourceDesc;
    rdfs:label "GA Profile XML Schema";
    prof:resource <http://pid.geoscience.gov.au/def/schema/ga/ISO19115-3-2016/gapm.xsd> ;
    prof:resourceType eg:XSDSchema ;
    dct:format "text/xml" .
```
So `<http://pid.geoscience.gov.au/def/schema/ga/ISO19115-1-2014>` uses `prof:resource` to link to the three `prof:ImplResourceDesc` which seems OK, but then the instances of `prof:ImplResourceDesc` again use `prof:resource` to link to schematron, XSD and html documents, which I find a bit confusing, particularly since `<http://pid.geoscience.gov.au/def/schema/ga/schematron-rules-ga.sch>` refers to itself. Are really both `<http://pid.geoscience.gov.au/def/schema/ga/ISO19115-3-2016>` and the XSD file associated with it (`<http://pid.geoscience.gov.au/def/schema/ga/ISO19115-3-2016/gapm.xsd>`) instances of `prof:ImpleResourceDesc` and if so, how do I know which role they play (the first one being a more abstract descriptor and the latter being something I can really use for validation)?

Thanks for any insights,

Lars
