词汇表在关联数据生态系统中被越来越多地（重新）使用。然而，管理与它们的统一资源标识符（URI）相关联的前缀仍然很麻烦，并且名称空间有时引用不同的前缀对URI前缀。在本文中，我们提出了调整两个著名的服务，目的是管理和协调词汇表的名称空间。我们使用prefix.cc来提供名称空间的查找服务，并使用Linked Open Vocabularies（LOV）来提取词汇表元数据。我们的方法能够识别三种不同的情况：（i）prefix.cc和LOV之间的冲突;（ii）LOV中的前缀不存在于prefix.cc中;（iii）prefix.cc中的URI实际上是LOV-able词汇表。我们描述了我们如何解决这些问题，从更新不同的服务到联系词汇表的编辑器来修复前缀之间的冲突。最后，我们介绍了新的LOV API，它可以检查prefix.cc中的那些名称空间是否实际上是要插入到LOV生态系统中的词汇表。
Vocabularies are more and more (re)-used in the Linked Data ecosystem. However, managing the prefixes associated to their Uniform Resource Identifiers (URIs) is still cumbersome and namespaces are sometimes referring to different pair 〈prefix, URI〉. In this paper, we propose to align two well-known services with the aim of managing and harmonizing vocabularies' namespaces. We use prefix.cc that provides a look up service for namespaces in general and Linked Open Vocabularies (LOV) that extracts vocabularies metadata. Our method enables to identify three different scenarios: (i) con flicts between prefix.cc and LOV; (ii) prefixes in LOV not present in prefix.cc and (iii) URIs in prefix.cc that are actually LOV-able vocabularies. We describe how we solve each of these issues, with actions ranging from updating the different services to contacting the editors of the vocabularies to fix clashes among prefixes. Finally, we present the new LOV API that enables to check whether those namespaces in prefix.cc can actually be vocabularies to be inserted in the LOV ecosystem or not.
