Description

Matteo Busanelli has reported that the prefix manager is not registering new prefixes with "-" and/or "_" in the prefix name:

http://markmail.org/message/ludibt2hvv4n6ruu

There are to things to improve here:

1) Improve the feedback given to the user for those errors

2) Extend the prefix names supported by the web service

Because those prefixes should be fine, and actually Marmotta/Sesame handles them. But the limitation is in the definition of the web service, which currently uses this pattern is

[a-z][a-zA-Z0-9]+

See:

https://git-wip-us.apache.org/repos/asf?p=incubator-marmotta.git;a=blob;f=platform/marmotta-core/src/main/java/org/apache/marmotta/platform/core/webservices/prefix/PrefixWebService.java;h=7c94692360eea235eb1ec6c88d564e5e682ddb9f;hb=HEAD#l55

Then it is clear it should support more, probably the normative prefix names defined by RDF/SPARQL, see:
