SPARQL Query final label [duplicate] - sparql

Question

This question already has an answer here:
Why does my SPARQL query return the URI of a resource instead of its name?

I have a SPARQL Query that returns the Europe capitals and their population. The query looks like this:
select ?s ?pop
where {
?s <http://dbpedia.org/ontology/populationTotal> ?pop .
?s a <http://dbpedia.org/ontology/place>
}
In this state, it returns the names of the cities in the following form: e.g. "<http://dbpedia.org/resource/London>" and what I want is to display only London in this case. So, is there a way I can tell SPARQL that I want only the final label?

The advice here is similar to other questions - use SPARQL to inspect the data. So first try this query to see if there are any label properties defined:
select *
where {
?s <http://dbpedia.org/ontology/populationTotal> ?pop .
?s a <http://dbpedia.org/ontology/place> .
?s ?p ?o .
}
In this case you'll find that no label properties have been defined for place class definitions. If desired you can take the local name - the text after the last slash (or hash) as the name. Try this query:
select *
where {
?s <http://dbpedia.org/ontology/populationTotal> ?pop .
?s a <http://dbpedia.org/ontology/place> .
BIND(REPLACE(xsd:string(?s), ".*[/#]", "") AS ?label)
}
