I just note that this is related but not similar to what I envision for serving information about an entity in several "profiles". > RDF/XML has gone I think RDF/XML is still very much alive...

I think my use is more related to "data shape" as used in the data shapes WG (not quite sure, though...). The use of the Accept-header to transport profile information is elegant. I had looked at that, too, but noticed that it's only allowed with two content-types (XHTML [1] and JSON-LD [2]). E. g. you cannot ask for Accept: text/turtle;profile=http://www.w3.org/TR/activitystreams-core/profile which probably is not an issue since your problem is restricted to JSON-LD. Your question how to describe those profiles is very much similar, though. Best, Lars
