Prefix Manager

In KGX, the PrefixManager acts as a central resource for,

  • CURIE to IRI expansion

  • IRI to CURIE contraction

Under the hood, PrefixManager makes use of prefixcommons-py.

Each time the PrefixManager class is initialized, it makes use of the Biolink Model JSON-LD context for a default set of prefix to IRI mappings.

These defaults can be overridden by using update_prefix_map and providing your custom mappings.
