Metadata profile identification

This keyword tells which profile the current document conforms to. A profile is both a minimal semantic content and a file structure specification. Once a profile is identified, some specific checks or parsing procedures can be applied. A profile is typically defined by a data producer and identifies the set of rules applicable to a given class of products. The way the profiles are actually implemented is not part of the current Dimap specification. One could use DTDs, XML-Schemas or other document content/file layout specification.

The METADATA_PROFILE can also be used, on the client side, to select a collection of stylesheets that may be applicable to the document, if he/she is using XSLT transformation techniques on Dimap/XML documents.

Please refer to the Dimap Documentation : "Dimap Structure" and "Dimap in Use" chapters.
