When online information about a resource adheres to one or more profiles, methods described here allow
clients to list those profiles and request content according to one or more of them in order of preference.
For example, a catalog may offer a dataset description using alternative representations using [[VOID]], [[VOCAB-DATA-CUBE]] and [[VOCAB-DCAT]]. Furthermore, the [[VOCAB-DCAT]] representation might conform to the [[DCAT-AP]] profile, the [[GeoDCAT-AP]] profile and also an organisation specific profile "MyOrgDCATProfile" which constrain various elements. These profiles may be related - for example "MyOrgDCATProfile" may be a further profile of [[GeoDCAT-AP]].
A request for the information about this
dataset description resource may ask for the list of profiles available, or it may ask specifically for a response adhering to, for example [[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.

Where documents contain data specifications (specifying requirements for certain types of data) in addition to other content, such as recommendations, annotations, usage notes) then this can be accomodated by publishing explicit identifiers for each section that represents a data specification that can be conformed to. All such specifications can be regarded as profiles, and communities may choose to reference the document as a profile provided that it defines the means to determine conformance to the document as a whole.
