Re: Plenary agenda June 5

Those are either content negotiation or profile description (as in the
profileDesc proposal from Rob and Nick). It still isn't clear to me
where the functionality belongs, and in some cases it may be both.

I had divided up the requirements on the G-Doc into two sets: content
negotiation and profile guidance. Some WG members commented that my
grouping of content negotiation was not accurate as some of those
requirements would not be fulfilled by content negotiation, but would be
fulfilled by metadata that describes the profile. If I am not mistaken,
there are WG members who view the profile guidance document as being
primarily or solely related to profile description metadata, not as a
description of the functionality of profiles themselves. In the github
issue on the possible outline of the guidance document,[1] I have
suggested a document in two parts: 1) guidance on the functions of
profiles (terms, cardinality, etc.) 2) a model for the description of
profiles (possibly based on profileDesc). That's there for discussion,
but isn't a group decision at this point.

My gut feeling is that it will be easier to agree on the second set of
requirements, #s 12-24. The first set has the issues of whether each is
part of content negotiation or profile description, and it gets us into
the question of inheritance again, which seems to be a difficult point
for the group.
