Since a profile as GeoDCAT-AP is an expression about all entities refering to GeoDCAT-AP in the conforms-to would naturally lead to the interpretation that the whole catalog follows GeoDCAT-AP.

In my mind, 

`ex:catalog dct:conformsTo ex:standard`

says that the Catalog itself conforms to some standard or implementation rules. This could be related to a law or regulation that governs the establishment of a particular type of catalogue or the quality rules that govern it. This does not need to say anything about the items in the catalogue, but I don't think it excludes that the `ex:standard` could say that the items in the catalogue need to adhere to some metadata profile.
