Re: Requirements for Profile Guidance

hi -

what is the provenance of these (proposed?) requirements?

They seem to heavily overlap with a combination of the requirement 6.8.1
Profile definition [RPFDF]  and the sort of constraint language
requirements we would expect (noting that specific constraint languages may
be varied and are agreed to be out of scope).  I can't immediately identify
anything obviously not covered, but if any new requirements exist we should
certainly discuss and if agreed add them to the UCR, or improve the current
UCR wording ASAP

Are we best of splitting out the individual clauses in 6.8.1, which
represent the current consensus position into separate requirements,
creating git hub issues, and then seeing if all these suggestions are in
fact covered (i.e. i think the onus would be to line up the specific
proposal against the relevant existing clauses and provide an example of
where a a new functional requirement is indicated,  or a better explanation
for an existing one)

Note that I have also proposed a DCAT-AP inspired profile publishing Use
Case to bring together the implications and existing practices around
Profile Guidance into a more familiar context.

I think this would also allow us to check these specifics, again I dont yet
see any additional requirements, but there is obviously a need for better
communication.
