Re: [dxwg] prof:profileOf sub-property of prov:wasDerivedFrom (!?)

>From [PROV-O' explanation of wasDerivedFrom](https://www.w3.org/TR/prov-o/#wasDerivedFrom):

*"A derivation is a transformation of an entity into another, an update of an entity resulting in a new one, or the construction of a new entity based on a pre-existing entity."*

It is appropriate to say directly that `:DCAT-AP prov:wasDerivedFrom :DCAT` when taking about the provenance of DCAT-AP as a *thing*. Of course this dosent convey the special sense of what it is to be a profile of something else.

Should we use a straightforward `prof:profileOf rdfs:subPropertyOf prov:wasDerivedFrom` to tie profileOf into PROV?

To be continued...
