Re: [dxwg] A profile may be (partially) "implemented" by "schemas" (in OWL, SHACL, XML Schema...) that allow different levels of data validation [ID37] (5.37)

My gut is that if there are different validation rules or different guidance rules then you have a different profile. That is definitely how it would be judged in the library/archive world.

What gets tricky is the whole "equivalence" issue - and the need for a "center". If you have a profile with a SHACL validation file and a separately developed ShEx validation file, what is the requirement for equivalence? If you have a profile with a PDF document and a SHACL file, which one is the "center"? That is, which one provides the authoritative set of rules for the profile? Which one would you use to develop yet another validation file?
