[discussion]: Could we make an extension/profile for Data Package recommendations?

[signekb]

Currently, we implement the Data Package recommendations by modifying the Data Package profile/schema "manually" in Python (in the _add_*_recommendations() functions).

Could it make sense for us to make a Data Package extension with a profile that adds all the recommendations from the textual descriptions (the SHOULDs) in the Data Package documentations instead?

This could also be usable for others who want to follow the Data Package recommendations.

My feeling is that this could be very nice! It feels better aligned with how the Data Package people expect their base JSON schemas to be modified.

I think it could work because we are only adding constraints to the schema and not removing them. (As far as I understand, you cannot remove constraints from the base schema in extending schemas.)
