Identify property names (prefix+name)

Product properties have names, as do properties of other artifacts, such as work items. Properties are represented in the index using resource description framework (RDF) predicates, which are URIs. If you enter just a simple name when creating a property, the tool generates a local URI from that name. Alternatively, you can enter a full URI for the property name, or a name with a recognized URI prefix.

As stated, properties are represented in the index using RDF predicates, which are URIs. For example, an alternative title property for a product or artifact might use the URI http://purl.org/dc/terms/alternative. When creating a property, you might name it using a URI. If you do not supply a URI, but enter just a simple name, the system generates a URI for you. This generated URI is local to the current server. If you supply a URI, you can enter the full URI, or you can use a prefixed name, such as dcterms:alternative, where the prefix is a known abbreviation for all but the last part of the URI.

The list of prefixes is configurable. The following list discloses the default set:
