Re: [dxwg] Options for metadata to describe tabular data in a more structured way? (#1418)

I agree with @rob-metalinkage that adding specificity to the 'general' property `conformsTo `is the role of a profile. For example, the European DCAT-AP adds details: for Dataset, it refers to "_an implementing rule or other **specification**_" while for Distribution, it specifies "_an established **schema**_". Both fit in the general semantics of `conformsTo`. But if for some reason, an application would find this still too vague -- maybe because a stronger need for validation -- the profile could create subclasses of `conformsTo`, e.g. `conformsToSpec` and `conformsToSchema`.

Maybe then this group could investigate whether there is a set of 'common' subproperties of `conformsTo `for the description of datasets that could be added to DCAT?
