ISSUE-61 (IRI-Casts): Casting to/from rif:iri [DTB]

http://www.w3.org/2005/rules/wg/track/issues/

Raised by: Christopher Welty
On product: DTB

It is clear users of RIF dialects such as BLD will want to be able to convert (cast) instances of rif:iri to/from other datatypes, in particular strings and possibly rif:text.

In general, a casting mechanism is not present in DTB and should be added.
