I will add the parentheses in the new version.

That is correct. We will add it in the new version.

No additional triples (other than the triple you mentioned above) will 
be generated that will have emp:c_ref_deptno as predicate.
(I may be misunderstanding your comment here. Please elaborate if 
necessary.)

The object for the predicate corr to a rr:foreignKeyMap is expected to 
be retrieved by the following query:
(it could return multiple objects if the foreign key constraint is not 
really enforcing a many-to-one child-to-parent relationship resulting in 
multiple triples with one child instance as subject)

SELECT parent.<rr:column in rr:subjectMap of rr:parentTriplesMap>
  FROM <rr:logicalTable in rr:parentTriplesMap> parent,
              <rr:logicalTable> child
WHERE <rr:joinCondition>

Would it help if we include a polished version of the above text in the 
rr:foreignKeyMap or rr:ForeignKeyClass section?

--------------
So, for A.2.1, the expected query will be:

SELECT parent.deptId
  FROM
               (
                Select ('_:Department' || deptno) AS deptId
                          , deptno
                          , dname
                          , loc
                 from dept
                ) parent,
                (
                Select ('<xyz.com/emp/' || empno||'>') AS empURI
                         , empno
                         , ename
                         , ('<xyz.com/emp/job/'|| job||'>') AS jobTypeURI
                         , job
                         , deptno
                         , ('<xyz.com/emp/etype/'|| etype||'>') AS 
empTypeURI
                         , etype
                         , ('<xyz.com/graph/'|| job || '/' || 
etype||'>') AS graphURI
                 from emp
                ) child
                WHERE (
                     child.deptno = parent.deptno
                 );
