/**
 * Example of grabbing and parsing Linked Data from DBPedia.
 *
 * This example illustrates how QueryPath can be used to do the following:
 * 
 * - Make a robust HTTP connection to a remote server to fetch data.
 * - Using context to control the underlying stream.
 * - Working with Linked Data.
 * - Work with XML Namespaces in documents.
 *   * Using namespaces to access elements in selectors
 *   * Using namespaces to access attributes in selectors
 *   * Using namespaces to access attributes in XML methods.
 *
 * The code here connects to the DBPedia server and looks up the Linked
 * Data stored there for a particular Wikipedia entry (any Wikipedia
 * wiki name should work here).
