ISSUE-48: Profile mechanism is Needed

profiles

Profile mechanism is Needed

State:

CLOSED

Product:

Linked Data Platform Spec

Raised by:

Opened on:

Description:

It has been argued again and again by Erik Wilde on the mailing list [1] that LDP needs a way to be able to specify what types of triples must appear in a graph for a specific resource. Others have argued that one needs this to specify what type of entity should be POSTed to a server. The notion of profiles has come up as name for specifying this [2].

To my knowledge no such things as profiles are defined clearly for RDF currently, and since Erik argues one cannot use ldp on the Web without such a notion - even for publishing at lpd:Container - it is incumbent on the group to develop the mechanisms to specify this for a graph of any type.

Either that of course or show/argue that this is in fact mistaken.

It needs profiles "only if LDP wants to be visible on the web as a service."
