Minimal application profile

In the DCTAP model, the simplest possible application profile consists of just one Statement Template in the context of one Shape.

A Statement Template has, at a minimum, one propertyID element, and the existence of a Shape can be inferred, so in practical terms, the simplest possible application profile is a list of just one property.

Note that if a shape identifier is not explicitly assigned in a CSV, a default identifier will be assigned. (This is discussed in the the section shapeID / shapeLabel.) In “shape-less” applications, this shape identifier can simply be ignored.
