### Links
- The WG's request for this TAG review: https:// <!-- If the WG didn't express consensus to ask the TAG for a review, use the "Other Specification Review" template instead, at https://github.com/w3ctag/design-reviews/issues/new?template=015-other-spec-review.yaml. This is usually a deep link into minutes or an email thread. -->
- Previous early design review, if any: https://github.com/w3ctag/design-reviews/issues/####
- An introduction to the feature, aimed at unfamiliar audiences: https:// <!-- Can be the specification's or explainer's introduction, or another section. -->
- A description of the problems that end-users were facing before this proposal: https:// <!-- See https://w3ctag.github.io/explainer-explainer/#end-user-need -->
- Alternatives considered: https:// <!-- See https://w3ctag.github.io/explainer-explainer/#alternatives -->
- Examples of how to use the proposal to solve the end-users' problems: https:// <!-- See https://w3ctag.github.io/explainer-explainer/#describe-proposal -->
- What do the end-users experience with this proposal: https:// <!-- See https://w3ctag.github.io/explainer-explainer/#describe-proposal -->
- User research you did to validate the problem and/or design, if any: https://
- Web Platform Tests: <!-- Or other tests if this is not a web platform feature. -->
### The specification
- [ ] Follows the [Web Platform Design Principles](https://www.w3.org/TR/design-principles/).
- [x] Includes Security and Privacy Considerations sections based on answers to the [Security/Privacy Questionnaire](https://www.w3.org/TR/security-privacy-questionnaire/).
### Where and by whom is the work is being done?
- GitHub repo: https://github.com/w3c/data-shapes/
- Primary contacts:
- Nicholas Car (@nicholascar), KurrawongAI, main editor
- <!-- repeat as necessary, we recommend including group chairs and editors in this list -->
- Organization/project driving the specification:
- KurrawongAI
- NIST
- INRIA
- JPMorgan Chase
- Corning
- This work is being funded by:
- in-kind only from editors' & co-chairs' orgs
- Primary standards group developing this feature:
- Data Shapes WG
- Incubation and standards groups that have discussed the design:
- SHACL CG
- Dataset Exchange WG
- Open Geospatial Consortium
### Feedback so far
- Active horizontal reviews:
- https://github.com/w3c/data-shapes/issues/891
- Multi-stakeholder feedback:
- Dataset Exchange WG (many common editors) that this Spec cannot rely on the elements in DX-PROF as that is undergoing revision. As a result, we have reduced dependence to a minimum
- Major unresolved issues with or opposition to this specification:
- Unresolved Issues: we have reduced scope so the document now only contains resolved implemented and propositions
- Opposition: we have not encountered any
- Status/issue trackers for implementations:
- https://w3c.github.io/data-shapes/shacl12-profiling/implementation-report/
### You should also know that...
This document is a narrower form of the Dataset Exchange WG's [Profiles Vocabulary](https://www.w3.org/TR/dx-prof-1.0/). This doc only deals only with SHACL profiling, within the wider concept of profiling that DX-PROF sets. This narrow implementation was thought necessary due to the profuse use of profiling of RDF with SHACL.
