Re: [dxwg] Two things that our "profiles" are not (#976)

> @RubenVerborgh @rob-metalinkage I am quite puzzled by your points: the position I'm reflecting here wrt JSON-LD results from plenary discussions with the JSON-LD WG: [w3.org/2018/10/26-dxwg-minutes#x06](https://www.w3.org/2018/10/26-dxwg-minutes#x06)

There's no contradiction; just different terminology. IETF profiles are constraints on structure and/or semantics; a JSON-LD form is a constraint on structure (over the JSON-LD semantic interpretation).

RDF profiles are a kind of profile indeed.

That's fine; the IETF definition is as open as possible.
