Re: [dxwg] Should a server list all profiles it supports, even those in a hierarchy (#932)

> is DCAT narrower than DCAT-AP, which is narrower than StatDCAT? Or the opposite? Does it even make sense to characterize one as "narrower" than the other?
We understand profiling to be about conformance to, not narrowness of element (class etc) element definitions so something that extends something else with more or specialised class definitions is profiling it. 

So if DCAT-AP instances conform to DCAT, DCAT-AP, however constructed, is the profile. If DCAT instances don’t necessarily conform to DCAT-AP, it’s not the profile.

So yes StatDCAT-AP profiles DCAT-AP which profiles DCAT, as per the example of a hierarchy in PROF.
