Re: [dxwg] Data publishers may publish data according to different profiles, either simultaneously (e.g. in one same data "distribution") or in parallel (e.g. via content negotiation). [ID37] (5.37)

Now I'm re-reading (and re-re-reading) the requirement, and it isn't terribly clear, but it reads to me like 

1) a DCAT requirement for publishing data relating to profiles, but I think it's wrong to say "in one same distribution" because I would see different profiles as different distributions. I don't think that DCAT has anything that would allow it to identify that a distribution relates to a specific profile, so I don't think that DCAT has taken on this requirement. There are profiles of DCAT but is there way to have data in multiple profiles distributed from a single dataset within one catalog? (e.g. like DCAT-AP-IT and DCAT-AP-DE within one catalog. Exists?)

2) a conneg requirement to allow negotiation of datasets (or anything else) by profile (which is what conneg is all about)

This makes me think that maybe we haven't integrated profiles and DCAT, but since we are working on them at the same time, perhaps DCAT changes should wait until profiles have settled down, so this can hold for DCAT++. @davebrowning @makxdekkers @dr-shorthair ?? Comments?
