Yes, thanks, it rings now a bell :-)
Indeed, PSPARQL exactly provides the solution you're looking for. The 
mapping can then be reduced to a SPARQL construct.
Regarding implementation, one is available at 
http://cesare.inrialpes.fr/psparql/engine.html

Note also that these features are on the wishlist of SPARQL2 ... so we 
are not speculating saying it will happen very soon in all SPARQL 
end-points!
