Re: [dxwg] Datasets vs. Catalog relation [RDSCR]

@makxdekkers  True, anybody can say anything about any thing. Perhaps I should have just said - not in a Catalog so out of scope.
In thinking about this I've realised I've been assuming that an Application Profile is associated with a Catalog and that all Dataset records in that catalog would conform to the same profile. Therefore a standalone Dataset record wouldn't describe the profile it conformed to, so not very useful.  However, where data set metadata is harvested from multiple Catalogs they may well have been created to conform to differing profiles. This would lead to a need to associate profile information with a Dataset (or a CatalogRecord?). Alternatively, a Catalog constructed from harvested records from other catalogs could be partitioned into sub-catalogs for each different profile.
