I am working with jena library. When I want to open this address:

model = FileManager.get().loadModel("http://dbpedia.org/resource/Shlomo_Breznitz");

I got this exception: 

http://dbpedia.org/resource/Shlomo_Breznitz(line 54 column 8): Element or attribute do not match QName production: QName::=(NCName':')?NCName.

It is a bug of jena, because this exception occurs just here (other rdf which I try to read are OK) or is there something wrong with this rdf file?

This means that the data being returned from DBPedia is malformed (which is unfortunately quite common) - putting the URL into the W3C RDF/XML Validator also shows this error

The only workaround currently is to download the file and manually fix the error yourself prior to parsing it with Jena

    Also, please complain on the [DBpedia mailing list](https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/dbpedia-discussion) so they get their act together and fix these issues. – cygri Apr 20 '12 at 16:10
