The validation profile basically point to different XSD validation
rules for ISO 19139 provided by different organizations.

iso19139eden uses the rules defined by the EDEN team
http://eden.ign.fr/xsd/isotc211

iso19139ngdc uses the rules defined by the NGDC team in the US (I
can't find any working URL as all are down due to the US government
shutdown)

To be completely honest, I don't know where the "iso19139" one comes from.

A while ago I compiled the differences between them on this gist, in
case someone is interested:

It probably doesn't make much sense to validate against multiple
validators for the same level. You can combine different validators
for different levels, for instance data.gov.uk uses
ckan.spatial.validator.profiles = iso19139eden,gemini2,constraints
to add the extra validation of the UK Gemini profile.

If the previous one don't include it no, but it could be added if
there is an xsd or schematron available for it.
