revised translation after reading Jena tutorial

A SPARQL query maps to an mKR "question", or a "select" command.
I need to consider whether I should change the mKR "select" command
to more closely match a SPARQL query.
Additional questions:
1) mapping between Rasqal and mKR
2) mapping between Redland context, SPARQL graph name and mKR context
3) use of owl:sameAs
