<h4>Syntax Restriction</h4>
10484+
<p><i>Additional [[[#sparqlGrammar]]] note:</i></p>
10485+
<blockquote>
10486+
Any variable that is assigned to in the graph pattern of `EXISTS`/`NOT EXISTS` must not be in-scope.
10487+
This applies to `BIND`, variables introduced by `AS` in a `SELECT` clause, variables in a `VALUES`
10488+
clause, and variables introduced by `AS` in `GROUP BY`.
10489+
</blockquote>
10490+
<p>Extend the "in-scope" rules to include the variables in-scope from the current row:</p>

<h4>Remapping</h4>
10511+
<p>
10512+
Remapping ensures that a variable name used inside a project expression,
10513+
but which is not part of the results of the evaluation of the project expression,
10514+
does not coincide with a variable mentioned anywhere else in the
10515+
algebra expression of a query.
10516+
</p>
10517+
<p>
10518+
Renaming these variables does not change the results of evaluating
10519+
the project expresssion.
10520+
</p>
10521+
<div class="defn">
10522+
<b>Definition: <span id="defn_projmap" name="defn_projmap">Projection Expression Variable Remapping</span></b>
10523+
<p>
10524+
For a projection algebra operation #sparqlProjection `Project(A, PV)` acting on algreg express `A` and with set of variables `PV`, define
10525+
a partial mapping `F` from
10526+
`<a href="#sparqlQueryVariables">V</a>`,
10527+
the set of all variables, to `V` where:
10528+
</p>
10529+
<pre>F(v) = v1 if v is in PV, where v1 is a fresh variable
10530+
F(v) = v if v is not in PV</pre>
10531+
<p>
10532+
Define the Projection Expression Variable Remapping `ProjectMap(P,PV)`
10533+
</p>
10534+
<pre>ProjectMap(Project(A, PV)) = Project(A1, PV)
10535+
where A1 is the result of applying F
10536+
to every variable mentioned in A.
10537+
</pre>
10538+
<p>
10539+
The Projection Expression Variable Remapping yields an algrebra expression that
10540+
evaluates to the same results as the Project argument. No variable of `ProjectMap(Project(A, PV))`
10541+
that is not in `PV` is mentioned anywhere else in the algebra expression for the query.
10542+
</p>
10543+
</div>
10544+
<p>This process is applied throughout the graph pattern of <code>EXISTS</code>:</p>
10545+
<div class="defn">
10546+
<b>Definition: <span id="defn_varrename" name="defn_varrename">Variable Remapping</span></b>
10547+
<p>
10548+
For any algebra expression `X`, define the Variable Remapping `PrjMap(X)`
10549+
of algebra expression `X`:
10550+
</p>
10551+
<pre>PrjMap(X) = replace all project operations Project(P, PV)
10552+
with ProjectMap(P, PV) for each projection in X.</pre>
10553+
</div>
10554+
<p>
10555+
The outcome of `PrjMap` is independent of the order of replacement
10556+
(e.g. bottom-up or top-down).
10557+
Replacements may happen several times, depending on recursive order
10558+
but each time a replacement is made, the variable not used anywhere else.
10559+
</p>
10560+
10561+
<p class="note">
10562+
A variable inside a project expression that is not in the variables projected
10563+
is not affected by the values insertion operation because it is renamed apart.
