See http://www.w3.org/TR/rdf-sparql-query/#FunctionMapping . Specifically:
"""
XPath defines only the casts from one XML Schema datatype to another.
The remaining casts are defined as follows:
* Casting an IRI to an xsd:string produces a typed literal with a
lexical value of the codepoints comprising the IRI, and a datatype of
xsd:string.
* Casting a simple literal to any XML Schema datatype is defined as
the product of casting an xsd:string with the string value equal to the
lexical value of the literal to the target datatype.
