The CMDI 1.2 specification recommends the following prefixes for the namespaces URIs in CMDI as described in Table 1.1 on the following page.

Turns out this is already implemented: https://github.com/clarin-eric/cmdi-toolkit/blob/0656fcfb3af442eb3abe6ee100a3eae1a7b93d81/src/main/resources/toolkit/sch/cmd-record-best-practices.sch#L109-L118 (The cue and xs prefixes are not used in records.)
