It seems to me the important question is from the client perspective. The client parses a metadata document and finds various distributions for a resource of interest; the dc:conformsTo property should provide the criteria to identify a distribution that the client will be able to parse and use. The problem is that there is a dependency on the sophistication of the client-- some clients might require a very specific serialization of the resource representation to work (e.g. xml according to schema X, using vocabulary Y for property values), others might have the logic necessary to handle any application/xml. Thus the dc:conformsTo profile URI needs to be hierarchical or multivalued. Established standards are good, but for a particular community and client, as long as the client recognizes a conformsTo URI for a distribution it can work with, it really doesn't matter if its a 'standard'. -- GitHub Notification of comment by smrgeoinfo Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/dxwg/issues/1211#issuecomment-589180810 using your GitHub account
