Application Profiles describe how the protocol is used to support a specific environment with a given set of practices and policies. This includes a description of services that must be supported, the required security environment etc. Each profile also provides an event table that maps specific external events and circumstances to the use of particular services specified in the protocol.

At the NCIP-IG meeting in June 2007, it was decided that previously published application profiles should be removed from the website. Those that were considered "current" would be resubmitted and reposted. If you are looking for an application profile that isn't available below, check the archives.  In addition, it was determined that the Application Profiles area would be divided into Published and Draft. Whether an Application Profile is Published or Draft is determined by its author; there is no formal review and approval process.
