DESCRIBE
Use the DESCRIBE query form to return all triples that are associated with a specified resource, not just the triples that are bound to any variables that you specify. Running a DESCRIBE query can be helpful when learning about the data that exists without having to know the structure of the data.
Syntax
[ PREFIX Clause ] DESCRIBE resource [ FROM Clause ] [ WHERE Clause ]
Examples
The following simple DESCRIBE example queries the sample Tickit dataset to describe all of the resources that are associated with person2:
DESCRIBE <person2>
