"external" standards, what does that mean?

[aisaac]

As per our call on June 12 2018 (https://www.w3.org/2018/06/12-dxwg-minutes) we had decided to rename this requirement from "Profiles should be able to indicate what external standards are expected to be applied/have been applied to the data provided.[ID43] (5.43)" to "Profiles should be able to indicate which external specifications are expected to be applied/have been applied to values of individual properties [ID43] (5.43)"

I've implemented this in the issue title

I'm adding the label profile-description just in case the Ontology needs to know about this Requirement.

seems like this is related to the whole what does 'profileOf' question. What does applying an external specification to something mean? If it means that instances that are the target of this 'applying' conform to some requirements (conformance class) in the 'external specification', then what is the difference between this and saying 'profileOf'?

[nicholascar]

@smrgeoinfo there may be no difference - can't say for sure yet! This is a result of us still having to tidy up all of the Requirements we've had placed on the Profile Guidance doc. There are many Requirements that are similar or even duplicates, we just need time to deal with them all still.

If this issue is still about individual properties, it's out of scope for PROF so we are de-tagging it from that.
