I appreciate that we are talking about a new attribute here, but I think we may have lost sight of what the attribute is *for*. What is the purpose of this attribute? Is it for defining CURIE prefix mappings to vocabularies? Is it for identifying the mapping to use when no prefix is used on a CURIE? Is it for both? The name is important. But I think it is way more important to define the scope of the functionality.

I'd suggest that @prefix is maybe not the best name for the attribute --
 too focused on the mechanics of CURIE mapping. @vocab maybe?

 I like @vocab +1 from me ;)

+1

@vocab makes indeed the most sense to me as well. It conveys the message
'here is a vocabulary from which I intend to use certain terms'.

Yes, this is what I meant in my post as well... make it something that might be understood more easily by laymen. @vocab is an improvement, at least for english speakers.
