Registered Profiles
SRU Profiles are documents which specify requirements which a server or client must conform to in order to claim compliance with that profile. The first profile below is distinguished as the SRU Base Profile, listing features recommended in order to ensure interoperability between SRU servers and clients. The Base Profile features are considered to be the base line implementation specifications, and if not implemented, the client or server will be unlikely to interoperate at all.
Profiles should not be confused with either context sets in CQL, or extensions for SRU. 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.
