Validate user entry of URI in the OWL properties

[alexskr]

URI do not get encoded properly (or validated) when users edit OWL ontology properties.
For example, users mistakenly put their names instead of URI into preferred name property. This data gets saved into triple store in the following manner:

<http://data.bioontology.org/ontologies/ACRONYM/submissions/1> <http://data.bioontology.org/metadata/authorProperty> <local:Firstname\u0020\Lastname> .
<http://data.bioontology.org/ontologies/ACRONYM/submissions/5> <http://data.bioontology.org/metadata/prefLabelProperty> <local:My Ontology Name> .

This creates problems for us when metadata graph is imported back into the triple store:

URI http://data.bioontology.org/metadata/OntologySubmission:8009 raptor error - Turtle URI error - illegal Unicode escape \u0020 in URI.

API and/or UI need to validate the user's input to make sure a valid URI is entered for those fields.
Users seem to be confused about this over a number of years so this submission form should benefit from a clear instruction that entries have to be in the URI format

fixed by ncbo/goo#138 and ncbo/goo#139

Always great to see, old issues being fixed.
The error display is fixed locally in our new UI (see ontoportal-lirmm#320). But will take us some time to do a PR for you.
But a temporary solution can be by updating these lines https://github.com/ncbo/bioportal_web_ui/blob/master/app/views/submissions/_form.html.haml#L3-L8 like so https://github.com/ontoportal-lirmm/bioportal_web_ui/blob/master/app/views/submissions/_form.html.haml#L22-L31
