Metadata guidance rules [RMDG]

Ability to express 'guidance rules' or 'creation rules' in DCAT

Related use cases: Metadata Guidance Rules [ID42]

The European DCAT-AP includes the property dct:conformsTo for Dataset referring to "an implementing rule or other specification" which seems sufficiently broad to also include guidance and creation rules.

While the 'profile-guidance' label was removed from this issue and the 'dcat' label was added instead, the associated use case for this requirement refers to profiles rather than DCAT.

For DCAT, we have added dct:conformsTo for dcat:Resource (and therefore for dcat:Dataset, see here), dcat:CatalogRecord(see here) and for dcat:Distribution (see here)

@kcoyle given that this was your use case, can you confirm that we can close the issue (if related to DCAT) or change back the label to profile-guidance if it correspond to that document instead?

[kcoyle]

I'm adding profile-guidance back in. It also logically is covered by the profiles vocabulary but I think they already have that covered in the roles. This will remind us that a paragraph about the kinds of guidance and usefulness thereof should be added to profgui.

As there has been no further discussion on this issue, I propose to close it.

Why not just removing the DCAT tag from it, considering that it may be relevant for the other work (if we come back to it)?

Done.
