-The Bind operation is used to create a new variable by binding or assigning an RDF Term to the variable. The bound variable has a global scope. Use of a given variable name anywhere in an LD Patch document identifies the same variable (@@@ but a variable _can_ be redefined). Following the example above, the Bind operation creates a new variable called <code>event</code>, starting from the RDF Term <code>&lt;#&gt;</code> and following the path expression <code>/schema:attendee[/schema:url = &lt;http://conferences.ted.com/TED2009/&gt;]</code> in order to identify the RDF Term to which this variable will point -- i.e. <code>_:b2</code>.
