+# This is a helper script that could be used as a shebang interpreter for SPARQL files.
+# Just set the SPARQL file executable and add the first line comment.
+# The endpoint and relation parameters are optional.
+# Parameters must be at the beginning of the file before any empty lines.
+# Only the first occurrence of each parameter is relevant.
+# This interpreter produces a human-readable table if STDOUT is a terminal
+# and machine-readable relational data if STDOUT is not a terminal.
+# So the stream can be piped to any relational transformation (e.g. relpipe-tr-sql)
+# or output filter (e.g. relpipe-out-csv).
+#
+# Example:
+#
+#	#!/usr/bin/env rdf-sparql-interpreter.sh
+#	# endpoint: https://query.wikidata.org/sparql
+#	# relation: few_statements
+#	
+#	SELECT * WHERE { ?subject ?predicate ?object } LIMIT 3
+
+
+# Execute the SPARQL query and send the results to the STDOUT
+# either raw or formatted as a table depending on whether STDOUT is a terminal or not.
+interpret_sparql() {
+	if [ -t 1 ] ; then relpipe-in-sparql "$@" | relpipe-out-tabular;
+	else relpipe-in-sparql "$@"; fi
+}
+
+# Fetches the parameter $2 from file $1.
+# Parameters must be formatted as comments: „# name: value“.
+# Only the first occurrence is relevant. And empty line terminates processing.

+	perl -e 'while(<>) { if (/^\s*$/) { last; } elsif (/^# ($ARGV[0]): (.*)$/) { print "$2"; last; } }' "$1" "$2"
