Re: [dxwg] Values for dcterms:conformsTo of instances dcat:DataService (sparql endpoints, for example) (#1211)

Namespaces just give you a collection of elements with some axioms - i.e. it is the ingredients, not really the recipe. It is usually the recipe that you want to conform to - the patterns and usage rules, which might be expressed in a machine actionable form (e.g. SHACL) but will often be supplemented by additional instructions that are expressed in natural language. As @nicholascar says, there will typically be a suite of artefacts associated with a specification. The profiles-vocabulary provides one way to describe and 'package' them. I would expect a document conforming-to the profiles vocabulary to be accessible from the specification URI (i.e. the /TR/ URI, not the /ns/ URI) (using conneg by profile of course ...)
