ISSUE-47 (OrgProfile): RegOrg should be defined as an Org profile [Registered Organization Vocabulary]

http://www.w3.org/2011/gld/track/issues/47

Raised by: Richard Cyganiak
On product: Registered Organization Vocabulary

The conformance section of RegOrg defines it as an individual specification and makes no reference to other vocabularies.

In our “reusable vocabulary conformance template” we have created the notion of a “profile” of a vocabulary, meaning a subset, extension or concretization that may add additional terms or additional restrictions.

If there ever was a situation where that profile mechanism could be applied, it's with Org and RegOrg. Surely, RegOrg should be a profile of Org? (Unless there is a clear use case that calls for the use of RegOrg in a way that is non-conformant to Org, but I can't see that right now.)

So the WG should either:

1) Work out the proper wording that makes RegOrg an Org profile, or
2) Seriously consider re-working or dropping the profile mechanism if 1) does not seem feasible.
