Profile negotiation

[csarven]

The Solid spec has a section for profile negotiation: https://solid.github.io/specification/#profiles . Perhaps this panel can (briefly?) look into profile negotiation ( https://profilenegotiation.github.io/I-D-Profile-Negotiation/I-D-Profile-Negotiation.html ) and see if anything in particular that needs to be worked out in context of everything else. We can then bubble that up to solid/specification.

As a co-author of the IETF draft, I think the main thing is the following. The draft stops at the point that profiles are identified by URIs. It does not say what should be behind URIs when dereferenced. So we would likely need to mint a couple of URIs for profiles we aim to support, and might also want to think about what could be behind them.

We should recommend (maybe even require) that profile URIs are dereferenceable and provide useful documentation at that URI. FWIW, it is also the direction JSON-LD 1.1 is taking: https://www.w3.org/TR/json-ld11/#iana-considerations
