SRW Profiles

Version 1.1, 12th January 2004

Introduction

Profiles in SRW refer to documents which specify a set of requirements which a server or client must conform to in order to claim compliance with that profile.

Profiles should not be confused with either context sets in CQL, or extensions for SRW. Profiles do not define anything new, they only list a set of requirements. Many profiles have associated context sets, record schemas and extensions, but the profile itself is just the list of these things.

Each profile should have a unique identifier in order to distinguish it from other profiles. These identifiers should be listed in the explain record.
