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

Hi, sorry for having let so much time pass.

First, I can confirm that my comment was indeed not about profile guidance in general, only about the specific DCAT model.

Second, to react to @rob-metalinkage , while I see there might be a need for more advanced machinery, for the moment I can live with anything simple that allows me to indicate that a data service complies with SPARQL. This was the requirement, @andrea-perego ! And whether the solution based on a 'document' would be acceptable for data consumers, I guess this should be passed on the owners of the European Data Portal, as I am no owner of catalogue of data service, just a mere data provider :-)

Originally we had agreed that this requirement was to be achieved by using the URI of the SPARQL language with dcterms:conformsTo. If this is deemed less appropriate than using the URI of the SPARQL protocol, I can live with it. Especially because there is a one-to-one relationship between the SPARQL protocol and the query language. . 
The first issue is that if there are protocols that allow special (profiles of) query language, then the indication of the protocol alone wouldn't be enough. And then this may require that people who have used dcterms:conformsTo with a protocol URI would add some statements with language URIs. But I guess it's part of the game.
The second issue, and probably harder to overcome, is that intuitively it makes a lot of sense that the data service would be related to protocols and languages by dcterms:conformsTo or some specialization of it, because the definition of that generic property in Dublin Core (''An established standard to which the described resource conforms.")  does seem to match the requirement...
