SPARQL 1.1:
PREFIX foaf:   <http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/>
SELECT ( substr( str(?p), strlen(str(foaf:))+1 )
            AS ?property)
WHERE{
      ?x ?p  "Peter Goodguy".
}
In SPARQL 1.0, you can't return anything not already in the graph : in 
SPARQL 1.1 you can do some manipulation of RDF terms.
Because SUBSTR is fn:substring, indexes are 1-based.
