Re: [dxwg] Data publishers may publish data according to different profiles, either simultaneously (e.g. in one same data "distribution") or in parallel (e.g. via content negotiation). [ID37] (5.37)

@kcoyle yes it's both.
And I think a while ago we've had a discussion about the possibility of having distributions conforming to different profiles. This is maybe not the prefered option (and indeed profile negotiation has the potential to have 'clean', profile-specific distributions). But it is possible, and in many cases, desirable, for example when different profiles would use largely overlapping vocabulary elements

@smrgeoinfo yes dct:conformsTo is a suitable option, and maybe at several DCAT levels (see the ongoing discussion about expressing the conformance of catalogue records with standards, #502 ). But anyway as @kcoyle says it's probably wiser to wait until the profile work has settle down before we require full alignment with the DCAT spec on this matter.
