Claim 7:
8. A non-transitory computer readable medium having stored thereon a sequence of instructions which, when stored in memory and executed by one or more processors causes the one or more processors to perform a set of acts, the set of acts comprising:
creating a workflow having an application-dependent workflow variable that is used when processing the workflow, wherein the application-dependent workflow variable has a variable type that is dependent upon a specific application that is operating with the workflow;
invoking a first application to process the workflow, wherein the application-dependent workflow variable that is used by the first application corresponds to a first variable type when used by the first application; and
invoking a second application to operate with the same workflow as the first application,
wherein the application-dependent workflow variable that is used by the second application corresponds to a second variable type when used by the second application on the same workflow as the first application, and
wherein the first variable type for the application-dependent workflow variable is different from the second variable type even when used in the same workflow.
