This means the file got corrupted somehow. If you know XML, you can open the GraphML file in a normal text editor (or a dedicated XML editor) and fix its structure to rescue the remaining information.

------------

Das bedeutet, dass die Datei kaputt ist (z.B. weil ein Fehler beim Schreiben aufgetreten ist oder das Kopieren vom einem Ort zu einem anderen nicht richtig funktioniert hat). Wenn Sie sich mit XML auskennen, koennen Sie versuchen die Datei in einem Texteditor oder einem XML-Editor zu oeffnen und von Hand zu reparieren um die noch vorhandenen Informationen zu retten.
