Normative Deliverable
WoT Profiles
"The WoT Profiles specification defines a Profiling Mechanism and a set of Profiles which enable out-of-the-box interoperability between Web Things and their Consumers on the Web of Things.
Being out-of-the-box interoperable means that any Consumer which conforms with a given Profile can interact with any Thing which conforms with the same profile, without additional customization.
A Profile is a technical specification which provides a set of assertions to which conformant Consumers and Things must conform.
The Profiling Mechanism provides a means to denote that a given Thing conforms to one or more Profiles, by referring to the identifiers of those Profiles in the profile member of its Thing Description."

Past minutes
Profiles as Ecosystem descriptors
- Continue the last meeting discussion
- Profiles were mainly focused on Greenfield implementations, but they have an importance for Brownfield as well.
- An Ecosystem covers more than what a single binding protocol does
- It could include provisions for Discovery, Onboarding, Data Representation
Use Case Task Force requests
