All,

There is a syntax problem with the Freebase dump. I don't know if the  
dump was prepared by the DBpedia team or by someone at MetaWeb, can  
anyone tell me who made it?

Anyway, here is the problem: The Freebase dump at
http://downloads.dbpedia.org/3.2/links/freebaselinks.zip begins like  
this:

@prefix owl: <http://www.w3.org/2002/07/owl#> .
@prefix fb: <http://rdf.freebase.com/ns/> .
@prefix dbpedia: <http://dbpedia.org/resource/> .

dbpedia:%21%21%21 owl:sameAs fb:guid.9202a8c04000641f80000000002d1e19 .
dbpedia:%21%21%21Fuck_You%21%21%21 owl:sameAs
fb:guid.9202a8c04000641f8000000000bb290d .

That's invalid Turtle, QNames are not allowed to include %-encoded
characters. This means Sindice staff has to manually exclude this dump  
when
indexing DBpedia.

The fix would be simply to use full URIs:

<http://dbpedia.org/resource/%21%21%21> instead of dbpedia:%21%21%21 .

I logged a bug here:

Kudos to Nickolai for finding and verifying this bug.

Best,
Richard
