Prefixes/namespaces: preferred way to define?

[Richard Walker]

It seems that to add a prefix/namespace to results, I can either:

(a) use the api:prefixMapping predicate, e.g.:

my:vocab a api:API ;
  # etc. etc.
  api:prefixMapping [ api:prefix "time" ; api:namespace "http://www.w3.org/2006/time#" ]
  .

(b) define the prefix at the top level, like any other prefix:

@prefix time: <http://www.w3.org/2006/time#> .

The com.epimorphics.lda.specs.ExtractPrefixMapping class picks up both types of definition.

Is there a view as to which is "better"?

[chris dollin]

Neither is automatically better than the other.

The @prefixes are automatically global, ie shared by
all the specs within a given config. And they're availble
within the spec itself.

The api:prefixMapping declarations apply only to
the spec they're attached to.
