I appreciate that we are talking about a new attribute here, but I think we may have lost sight of what the attribute is *for*. What is the purpose of this attribute? Is it for defining CURIE prefix mappings to vocabularies? Is it for identifying the mapping to use when no prefix is used on a CURIE? Is it for both? The name is important. But I think it is way more important to define the scope of the functionality.
