Functions in R2RML

I thought that the R2RML user could write functions for two purposes:

1) Mapping values from SQL to RDF:  Say {1,2} --> {male,female}
2) Functions to generate URis.  Or to find URIs, remember our discussions with the OKKAM folks?

On yesterday's telcon it was pointed out that it was not clear where the functions would run, etc.
I think we should have a discussion about this.  Perhaps the answer is that the user does the
mapping and then runs the function in his application on the resulting RDF.  We don't need to say
anything about that except to point out that is a solution for some usecases.
What do folks think?
