Allow namespace URIs that end with underscore #27

Closed cygri closed 5 years ago

cygri commented 5 years ago

Example: http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/GO_

Currently, / # : = are allowed. Add _ to that list.

Requiring a special character at the end of the IRI at all is sensible because it prevents registering namespaces where the final special character is accidentally missing, like a missing required #. But I don't see a benefit in keeping the list of allowed terminal characters particularly narrow. So, adding _ to the allowed terminals seems fine to me.

Done.

This is great for OBO ontologies like GO, which have URIs like http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/GO_0008150, which is shortened to GO:0008150
