What Are Virtual Profiles?

• Virtual profiles are resources decoupled from their persistence form and media
• Each virtual profile component (ex: quality) can be associated to a different source or persistence form and media (ex: database)
• Each virtual profile component (ex: quality) can be associated to multiple sources or persistence forms and media
• Each virtual profile component (ex: quality) persistence form and media association can be independently fully qualified, secured, and prioritized
• Each virtual profile component (ex: quality) is subject to all related and relevant entitlement specifications
• Virtual profiles are otherwise resources like all other resources and can be modelled, transformed, and shared like any knowledge resource
• Virtual profile archetypes are characterized by their decoupled persistence qualities
