<b>The ProfileRoot is at the core of the Invasive Alien Species Profile Schema (IASPS). It contains a GUID element, which describes the institution that 
generates or curates the data, and a SourceMetadata element, which describes the source of the actual data set (e.g. a fact sheet) being shared. The  
ReportedData element is provided for fact sheet, checklist, project and case study data, the PrimaryData element is simply a placeholder for observation, 
survey and collection data, and the Expertise element is for sharing information about experts.<b>-- Michael.Browne
