+#' Execute Multiple SPARQL Queries with ROBOT
+#'
+#' Wrapper for `robot("query", ...)` that accepts one `input` but multiple
+#' queries, and optionally multiple output files.
+#'
+#' @param input The path to an RDF/OWL file recognized by ROBOT, as a string.
+#' @param query The text for or path to one or more valid SPARQL queries (`ASK`,
+#' `SELECT`, `CONSTRUCT`, or `UPDATE`) as a character vector.
+#' @param output The path(s) where output will be written or `NA`, as a
+#' character vector. If `NULL` (default), or for each `NA` data will be loaded
+#' directly. NOTE: `output` is required for `UPDATE` and `CONSTRUCT` queries.
+#' @param ... Additional arguments to
+#' [ROBOT query](http://robot.obolibrary.org/query) formatted as described in
+#' [DO.utils::robot()].
+#' @inheritParams tidy_sparql
+#' @inheritParams readr::read_tsv
+#' @inheritParams robot
+#'
+#' @returns
+#' If `output` is specified, the path(s) to the output file(s) with the query
+#' result(s). Otherwise, the query result(s) as a list. ASK results will be
+#' boolean, while SELECT results will be as [tibble](tibble::tibble)s.
