What are CURIES? #724

Open jandrieu opened 4 years ago

jandrieu commented 4 years ago

In the tutorial, https://json-ld.org/primer/latest/#examples-theme there are two references to CURIES, without explanation or reference:

http://ns.example.com/store# The URL of the vocabulary. Abbreviated as store in CURIES. http://store.example.com/ The fictitious "Links Bike Shop". Abbreviated as links in CURIES.

It's not clear that that means.

JSON-LD doesn't actually use the term "CURIE", but rather Compact IRI, which is essentially the same thing. Also related are PNames and QNames, but all have subtle differences.
