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)

@nicholascar Remember that anyone can say anything about anything (and they probably will). I hope that profile resources/objects will have identifiers, because if they don't they'll be blank nodes (/me making the 'go away vampire' sign). Also, I want people to be able to say things about them, like who created them, what version they are, etc. 

dct:conformsTo has no domain and therefore the subject is of type rdf:Resource. If the desire is to limit conformance to profiles, such that 

```
profileA  
      rdf:type prof:Profile ;  
      ex:conformsTo standardX .
```

then you'll need a prof:conformsTo that has a domain of prof:Profile. 

That said, you can write rules for your required usage within your community and you can test for following those rules. But the vocabulary allow all defined uses of dct:conformsTo.
