Re: [dxwg] Profiles and distributions

@rob-metalinkage I do not understand your statement that you haven't seen a 'cogent argument'. Is it that you haven't seen any arguments, or that you think that arguments made are not cogent?
Let's try this argument: Suppose there is a dataset that says it contains the data for the budget for the year 2019. As a user, I think it would be reasonable to expect that every one of the distributions contain all the data for that year and that they only differ in the format. I would not expect to having to browse through the descriptions of the distributions to find out which of them did contain all the data rather than some subset of it. Requiring 'informational equivalence' among distributions would provide this guarantee. If not, you really do not know beforehand what distributions contain.
My earlier point was (https://www.w3.org/TR/dcat-ucr/#ID34 and https://www.w3.org/TR/dcat-ucr/#RDIDF) that there needs to be a clear definition, so I would love to hear what your opinion is on this issue.
Please note that for distributions we're not talking about data services; distributions essentially give access to static files.
