Re: example query on aggregates in SPARQL/Query Section 2

My undersatnding is that this query projects only ?totalPrice as an
aggregation, not as a function.  An aggregate is not a function in
this sense.

The prohibition covers

    SELECT ?totalPrice
or
    SELECT (?totalPrice/1.6 AS ?priceUKP)
or
    SELECT datatype(?totalPrice)
not
  SELECT (datatype(sum(?lPrice)) AS ?example), ?org
