<h4>Syntax Restriction</h4>

<p><i>Additional [[[#sparqlGrammar]]] note:</i></p>
10656+
<blockquote>
10657+
Any variable that is assigned to in the graph pattern of `EXISTS`/`NOT EXISTS` must not be in-scope.
10658+
This applies to `BIND`, variables introduced by `AS` in a `SELECT` clause, variables in a `VALUES`
10659+
clause, and variables introduced by `AS` in `GROUP BY`.
10660+
</blockquote>
10661+
<p>Extend the "in-scope" rules to include the variables in-scope from the current row:</p>

<h4>Remapping</h4>
10682+
<p>
10683+
Remapping ensures that a variable name used inside a project expression,
10684+
but which is not part of the results of the evaluation of the project expression,
10685+
does not coincide with a variable mentioned anywhere else in the
10686+
algebra expression of a query.
10687+
</p>
10688+
<p>
10689+
Renaming these variables does not change the results of evaluating
10690+
the project expresssion.
10691+
</p>
10692+
<div class="defn">
10693+
<b>Definition: <span id="defn_projmap" name="defn_projmap">Projection Expression Variable Remapping</span></b>
10694+
<p>
10695+
For a projection algebra operation #sparqlProjection `Project(A, PV)` acting on algreg express `A` and with set of variables `PV`, define
10696+
a partial mapping `F` from
10697+
`<a href="#sparqlQueryVariables">V</a>`,
10698+
the set of all variables, to `V` where:
10699+
</p>
10700+
<pre>F(v) = v1 if v is in PV, where v1 is a fresh variable
10701+
F(v) = v if v is not in PV</pre>
10702+
<p>
10703+
Define the Projection Expression Variable Remapping `ProjectMap(P,PV)`
10704+
</p>
10705+
<pre>ProjectMap(Project(A, PV)) = Project(A1, PV)
10706+
where A1 is the result of applying F
10707+
to every variable mentioned in A.
10708+
</pre>
10709+
<p>
10710+
The Projection Expression Variable Remapping yields an algrebra expression that
10711+
evaluates to the same results as the Project argument. No variable of `ProjectMap(Project(A, PV))`
10712+
that is not in `PV` is mentioned anywhere else in the algebra expression for the query.
10713+
</p>
10714+
</div>
10715+
<p>This process is applied throughout the graph pattern of <code>EXISTS</code>:</p>
10716+
<div class="defn">
10717+
<b>Definition: <span id="defn_varrename" name="defn_varrename">Variable Remapping</span></b>
10718+
<p>
10719+
For any algebra expression `X`, define the Variable Remapping `PrjMap(X)`
10720+
of algebra expression `X`:
10721+
</p>
10722+
<pre>PrjMap(X) = replace all project operations Project(P, PV)
10723+
with ProjectMap(P, PV) for each projection in X.</pre>
10724+
</div>
10725+
<p>
10726+
The outcome of `PrjMap` is independent of the order of replacement
10727+
(e.g. bottom-up or top-down).
10728+
Replacements may happen several times, depending on recursive order
10729+
but each time a replacement is made, the variable not used anywhere else.
10730+
</p>
10731+
10732+
<p class="note">
10733+
A variable inside a project expression that is not in the variables projected
10734+
is not affected by the values insertion operation because it is renamed apart.
