Re: How do you explore a SPARQL Endpoint?

SELECT DISTINCT ?type
WHERE {   ?x rdf:type ?type . }

SELECT DISTINCT ?p
WHERE {   ?s ?p ?o . }

then

SELECT ?s
WHERE {
  ?s a <http://uri_of_a_type>
} LIMIT 100

and then

DESCRIBE <http://uri_of_an_instance>

or

SELECT ?p ?o
WHERE {
  <http://uri_of_an_instance> ?p ?o .
}

Having some statistics on the types may help too :

SELECT ?type (COUNT(?instance) AS ?count)
WHERE {
    ?instance a ?type .
} GROUP BY ?type
