Re: [dxwg] Profile Composition and Languages

Hi,

I have already created a "straw man" for a lightweight description of profiles independent of the profile specification language - potentially as part of dcat - since this is a concern for describing data sets and extends dct:conformsTo  and dc:Standard just enough to declare relationships and bind to profile description resources. This is intended to support existing profile hierarchies (described in documents) as well as profile descriptions in OWL, SHACL or other choices.

its at https://github.com/w3c/dxwg/tree/roba-profile/dcat/rdf

Its agnostic about the composition method, but the definition of profile adoption does require constraints to be transitive - a profile cannot relax or change sense of an inherited constraint.

I think its a good point to decide if thus is in scope and implied by current requirements, or if we want a more explicit UC and requirements.

I dont believe we are in a position to require or develop a specific profile description vocabulary - but i would expect that DCAT profile guidance would be able to recommend use of W3C vocabularies such as SHACL and RDF-Datacube
