Re: [dxwg] Reference DC Singapore Framework (#400)

@nicholascar Yes, I agree that PROF does appear to be a vocabulary for a DCAT-like view of profiles. It might find better reception if being aligned with the DCAT model is made explicit in the PROF document. That would show people coming from non-DCAT environments where to look to better understand the PROF view.

I am not aware of other data environments that are analogous to the DCAT model, and I admit that I still find it to be something I have to think about to make sense of. Even in the library world where "catalog" is the bread-and-butter of library data, the relationship between catalogs and their entries does not align with DCAT's model. Positioning PROF as a vocabulary for the DCAT community and any communities that have a DCAT-like model would probably help avoid objections from reviewers who have an entirely different model in mind. (I'm thinking of some of the comments that came in after the FPWD, which I think are of this nature.)
