title: Exploratory SPARQL queries?
body: <p>whenever I start using SQL I tend to throw a couple of exploratory statements at the database in order to understand what is available, and what form the data takes.</p>
  <p>e.g.</p>
  <pre><code>show tables
  
  describe table
  
  select * from table
  </code></pre>
  <p>Could anyone help me understand the way to complete a similar exploration of an RDF datastore using a SPARQL endpoint?</p>
