	Some "data" that is pervasive to the BP and that changes state
	through activities.

	What I wanted to say is that the "state" at execution time is
	some sort of data that is:
	- derived from information discovered at analysis time
	- and, perhaps, some other information that is required at 
	  execution time and that cannot easily be modelled at
	  analysis. 
	  Take as an example a "counter" of a loop in a business 
	  process.
