Re: [dxwg] property profileOfTransitive

@kcoyle It's an interesting question. I can see a analogy here with Dataset. A similar question could be: If I have a file with data, is that a `dcat:Dataset`? In that case, no, it isn't; the file is the **Distribution** of a Dataset.
In the case of profiles, it is a similar situation: the `prof:Profile` is the 'conceptual' resource, and the specification document is one of the possible serialisations of it, just as the SHACL file is another.
Please note that the files linked from https://joinup.ec.europa.eu/release/dcat-ap-v11 at he bottom of the page are shown under the heading 'Distributions'!
So my answer would be, no, the human-readable document is **not** the `prof:Profile`. 
The definition at https://w3c.github.io/dxwg/profilesont/#Class:Profile is correct as far as I am concerned: it says a `prof:Profile` is a "named set of constraints", not a "document containing a set of constraints".
