VIVO uses the common shorthand prefix when referring to an ontology in the ontology editor, such as bibo: (short for Bibontology), foaf: (short for Friend of a Friend), or core: (short for VIVO core). The prefix stands for the fully qualified namespace for the ontology – http://purl.org/ontology/bibo/ for the Bibontology, http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/ for FOAF, and http://vivoweb.org/ontology/core# for VIVO core.
When an ontology namespace has not been added to this list, no prefix appears before a class or property name in the ontology editor. If then a class or property name happens to be duplicated from one ontology to another (e.g., bibo:Image and foaf:Image), it's not evident on the VIVO ontology editor's pick lists which name is which.
