title: sparql using live.dbpedia and getting XML Schema in the result
body: <p>I'm adventuring with sparql and a java application, I've found a few connection basics to get up and running as it were but fear I'm making a mistake which will later turn into something worse.</p>
  
  <p>Every connection suggestion regardless of the library used says to connect to <code>"http://dbpedia.org/sparql/"</code> yet this doesn't work for me.</p>
  
  <p>I checked the url that is returned when I run a query using the online editor and noticed the live prefix, so I added that as my connection string, and it works. That is to say, my connection string looks like <code>"http://live.dbpedia.org/sparql"</code></p>
  
  <p>And it does return the result, however, the result has the XML Schema attached which is making me wonder whether or not it's because of this <code>live.</code> I've added in.</p>
  
  <p>Below is the simple connection code I'm using, is this correct?  Any and all help greatly appreciated thank you.</p>
  
  <p>If the 'live' is correct, is it possible to extra the just the value wihtout the Schema?</p>
  
  <pre><code>StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
      sb.append("PREFIX dbr: &lt;http://dbpedia.org/resource/&gt; \n");
      sb.append("PREFIX dbp: &lt;http://dbpedia.org/property/&gt; \n");
      sb.append("PREFIX dbo: &lt;http://dbpedia.org/ontology/&gt; \n");
      sb.append("SELECT ?dob \n");
      sb.append("WHERE {dbr:Tony_Blair dbp:birthDate ?dob} \n");
  
      Query query = QueryFactory.create(sb.toString());
      QueryExecution qexec = QueryExecutionFactory.sparqlService("http://live.dbpedia.org/sparql", query);
  
      try {
          ResultSet results = qexec.execSelect();
          for ( ; results.hasNext() ; )
          {
              QuerySolution soln = results.nextSolution() ;
              System.out.println(soln.get("?dob"));
          }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>the result being:</p>
