Settings > External Graph URI

This feature from the Settings Tab can be used to set a so-called external graph URI for the current asset collection.

The external graph URI is an optional alias for the asset collection identifier, used when exporting an asset collection as serialized RDF graph, see Export > Export as an RDF File. It can also be used on import of interconnected RDF files when they are loaded into different asset collections - to appropriately re-route their owl:imports references.

Note

If the external graph URI is left unspecified, the asset collection is always identified using the URN that you can see under Settings > Graph URI.

Caution

Although often similar, graph URIs have nothing to do with namespaces and prefixes. Namespaces and prefixes identify individual assets while graph URIs identify the whole graph in a data set.
