Re: Conneg definition was: Re: Start of profiles analysis page - 2nd reply

Negotiation of a distribution (selecting a distribution given a dcat
dataset and profile identifiers,  implies a some form of data access api
supported by dcat.. thats a long stretch compared to exposing profile
identifiers for distributions in dcat, and allowing negotiation for a
specific distribution which supports multiple profiles.


Negotiation mechanisms consistent with these identifiers could be driven by
dcat or by the distribution endpoints.

An api to interact with Dcat metadata graphs could be defined of course, if
we felt it was critical, and we could get two independent implementations.
.. but should be a new deliverable.
