<h4>Syntax Restriction</h4>

<p><i>Additional [[[#sparqlGrammar]]] note:</i></p>
10658+
<blockquote>
10659+
Any variable that is assigned to in the graph pattern of `EXISTS`/`NOT EXISTS` must not be in-scope.
10660+
This applies to `BIND`, variables introduced by `AS` in a `SELECT` clause, variables in a `VALUES`
10661+
clause, and variables introduced by `AS` in `GROUP BY`.
10662+
</blockquote>
10663+
<p>Extend the "in-scope" rules to include the variables in-scope from the current row:</p>

<h4>Remapping</h4>
10684+
<p>
10685+
Remapping ensures that a variable name used inside a project expression,
10686+
but which is not part of the results of the evaluation of the project expression,
10687+
does not coincide with a variable mentioned anywhere else in the
10688+
algebra expression of a query.
10689+
</p>
10690+
<p>
10691+
Renaming these variables does not change the results of evaluating
10692+
the project expresssion.
10693+
</p>
10694+
<div class="defn">
10695+
<b>Definition: <span id="defn_projmap" name="defn_projmap">Projection Expression Variable Remapping</span></b>
10696+
<p>
10697+
For a projection algebra operation #sparqlProjection `Project(A, PV)` acting on algreg express `A` and with set of variables `PV`, define
10698+
a partial mapping `F` from
10699+
`<a href="#sparqlQueryVariables">V</a>`,
10700+
the set of all variables, to `V` where:
10701+
</p>
10702+
<pre>F(v) = v1 if v is in PV, where v1 is a fresh variable
10703+
F(v) = v if v is not in PV</pre>
10704+
<p>
10705+
Define the Projection Expression Variable Remapping `ProjectMap(P,PV)`
10706+
</p>
10707+
<pre>ProjectMap(Project(A, PV)) = Project(A1, PV)
10708+
where A1 is the result of applying F
10709+
to every variable mentioned in A.
10710+
</pre>
10711+
<p>
10712+
The Projection Expression Variable Remapping yields an algrebra expression that
10713+
evaluates to the same results as the Project argument. No variable of `ProjectMap(Project(A, PV))`
10714+
that is not in `PV` is mentioned anywhere else in the algebra expression for the query.
10715+
</p>
10716+
</div>
10717+
<p>This process is applied throughout the graph pattern of <code>EXISTS</code>:</p>
10718+
<div class="defn">
10719+
<b>Definition: <span id="defn_varrename" name="defn_varrename">Variable Remapping</span></b>
10720+
<p>
10721+
For any algebra expression `X`, define the Variable Remapping `PrjMap(X)`
10722+
of algebra expression `X`:
10723+
</p>
10724+
<pre>PrjMap(X) = replace all project operations Project(P, PV)
10725+
with ProjectMap(P, PV) for each projection in X.</pre>
10726+
</div>
10727+
<p>
10728+
The outcome of `PrjMap` is independent of the order of replacement
10729+
(e.g. bottom-up or top-down).
10730+
Replacements may happen several times, depending on recursive order
10731+
but each time a replacement is made, the variable not used anywhere else.
10732+
</p>
10733+
10734+
<p class="note">
10735+
A variable inside a project expression that is not in the variables projected
10736+
is not affected by the values insertion operation because it is renamed apart.
