Description

Is there a way (preferably on the command line) to add a prefix definition to an ontology?

To give my specific usage, I am trying to merge some triples into an existing ontology however if there is a prefix defined in the triples that doesn't exist in the base file, the full URI is used. How can I add the prefix definition?

Research direction

Start by locating the command-line entry point for merging triples into an existing ontology and trace how prefix definitions are read and written. Confirm the expected behavior with an ontology containing a prefix absent from the base file; done means the merged output preserves that prefix instead of emitting its full URI.
