Why this Sparql query is not working

SELECT * 
WHERE {
<http://dbpedia.org/resource/People%27s_Republic_of_China> <http://dbpedia.org/ontology/abstract> ?abstract . 
FILTER (lang(?abstract)='en')
}

but if I run the same query using a resourcename not containing a special character then it will work.

Am i not allowed to use such words in Sparql?

Solution

  • I tried your query with FactForge, and it seems to be working. Can you be more specific ? Where do you execute your query ?
