     the concept of a <tref>compact IRI</tref> is introduced.</p>
   <p>
     A <tdef>compact IRI</tdef> is a way of expressing an <tref>IRI</tref>
-    using a <em>prefix</em> and <em>suffix</em>.
-    Generally, these prefixes are used by concatenating the <em>prefix</em> and
-    a <em>suffix</em>, which is separated by a colon (<code>:</code>).

-    The ability to use <tref title="compact_iri">compact IRIs</tref> reduces the need for developers
-    to declare every <tref>vocabulary</tref> term that they intend to use in
-    the JSON-LD <tref>context</tref>. This reduces stand-alone JSON-LD

-    Without prefixes, a developer would need to keep their application
