ldp-ISSUE-48 (profiles): Profile mechanism is Needed [Linked Data Platform core]
http://www.w3.org/2012/ldp/track/issues/48
Raised by: Henry Story
On product: Linked Data Platform core
It has been argued again and again by Erik Wilde on the mailing list [1] that LDP needs a way to be able to specify what types of triples must appear in a graph for a specific resource. Others have argued that one needs this to specify what type of entity should be POSTed to a server. The notion of profiles has come up as name for specifying this [2].
To my knowledge no such things as profiles are defined clearly for RDF currently, and since Erik argues one cannot use ldp on the Web without such a notion - even for publishing at lpd:Container - it is incumbent on the group to develop the mechanisms to specify this for a graph of any type.
Either that of course or show/argue that this is in fact mistaken.

It needs profiles "only if LDP wants to be visible on the web as a service."
[2] the following mail "What are Profiles?" goes into more detail into what they are
