__UPDATE 2022-10-25__
This repository is being replaced by linkml/prefixmaps#6
Newer code should not use the prefixcommons package on PyPI, but instead use [prefixmaps](https://pypi.org/project/prefixmaps) combined with [curies](https://pypi.org/project/curies)
A python API for working with ID prefixes in the context of prefixcommons
Current functionality: Uses JSON-LD contexts to expand and contract CURIEs to URIs
E.g. GO:0008150 <=> http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/GO_0008150
>>> from prefixcommons import contract_uri
>>> print(contract_uri('http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/GO_0008150'))
['GO:0008150']
>>> from prefixcommons import expand_uri
>>> print(expand_uri('GO:000850'))
http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/GO_0008150
The above uses standard JSON-LD context files from prefixcommons/biocontext
You can pass your own
>>> cmaps = [{'GO': 'http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/GO_'}]
>>> print(contract_uri('http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/GO_0008150'), cmaps)
['GO:0008150']
