A request for information about this dataset description's possible representations may

[[GeoDCAT-AP]]. When no profile or an unsupported profile is requested, a server returns default content,
that is, content conforming to the default profile supported by the server.

of content negotiation and ensures they all adhere to a single functional specification, ensuring their functional equivalency.

While this specification only describes HTTP and QSA methods for content negotiation by profile, it is expected
that implementers will want to implement functionally equivalent methods for other environments, some of which may
