The intention of this service is to simplify a common task in the work of RDF developers: remembering and looking up URI prefixes. One can look up prefixes from the search box on the homepage, or directly by typing URLs into a browser bar, such as http://prefix.cc/foaf or http://prefix.cc/foaf,dc,owl.ttl. The service supports over a dozen syntaxes for displaying the prefix mapping. New prefix mappings can be added by anyone. If multiple conflicting URIs are submitted for the same namespace, visitors can vote for the one they consider the best.
