- Method Detail
  - getPrefix
```
String getPrefix()
```
    Gets the prefix of the current namespace. The default namespace is represented by an empty prefix string.
    
    Returns:
    
    prefix of namespace, or an empty string in case of the default namespace.
  - getName
```
String getName()
```
    Gets the name of the current namespace (i.e. its IRI).
    
    Returns:
    
    name of namespace
  - equals
```
boolean equals(Object o)
```
    Compares this namespace to another object.
    
    Overrides:
    
    equals in class Object
    
    Parameters:
    
    o - The object to compare this namespace to
    
    Returns:
    
    true if the other object is an instance of Namespace and their prefixes and names are equal, false otherwise.
  - hashCode
```
int hashCode()
```
    Computes the hash code of this namespace.
    
    Overrides:
    
    hashCode in class Object
    
    Returns:
    
    a hash code for this namespace computed as Objects.hash( getPrefix(), getName())
