Done. please see:

Note

The Turtle language originally permitted only the syntax including the
'@' character for writing prefix and base directives. The
case-insensitive 'PREFIX' and 'BASE' forms were added to align
Turtle's syntax with that of SPARQL. It is advisable to serialize RDF
using the '@prefix' and '@base' forms until RDF 1.1 Turtle parsers are
widely deployed.

This can be written using either the original Turtle syntax for prefix
declarations:

Example 7
┌
│@prefix somePrefix: <http://www.perceive.net/schemas/relationship/> .
│
│<http://example.org/#green-goblin> somePrefix:enemyOf <http://example.org/#spiderman> .
└      
or SPARQL's syntax for prefix declarations:

Example 8
┌
│PREFIX somePrefix: <http://www.perceive.net/schemas/relationship/>
│
│<http://example.org/#green-goblin> somePrefix:enemyOf <http://example.org/#spiderman> .
└
