### 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.
