Should OBO context JSON-LD file contain a prefix `obo`? about obofoundry.github.io

@cthoyt can you give us an indication of how important this is to you? I am worried that about:

(because of the problem that maybe not everyone knows they need to prefer the longest match)

I don't see yet a clear advantage for adding this here rather than just having this in bioregistry? The examples you give are all unsupported URL spaces.. (I am not trying to argue that the prefix isn't useful, just that it has to be added here)

This is pretty low priority. I was just thinking about it based on a question from the curies package biopragmatics/curies#63 where some things get compressed to obo:UBPROP_000006 but I realized when writing up the examples into unit tests that this wasn't actually possible if I start with the OBO Foundry converter.

I like your xkcd. It's another reminder that we should all be using standard code for handling prefix maps. We have a java and python implementation, I guess early 2024 I will be scheduled to write this in Javascript, R, and Rust if all goes well.
