10. A processor readable non-transitory medium having processor executable instructions thereon, which when executed by a processor cause the processor to: execute workflow instance based on stored data associated only with the workflow instance and workflow activities wherein the work flow instance execution does not perform an action to bind documents outputted by the workflow instance with documents retrieved by the workflow instance wherein the action to bind requires knowledge of information to be used for binding of data components to activities within a workflow instance, thereby retrieving documents across workflow activities of the workflow instance at runtime and without a retrieving workflow instance activity having prior knowledge of an outputting workflow instance activity; output by the workflow instance on the computing device, to an output store, a document comprising a specified attribute of a document source activity identifier, wherein the specified attribute of the document source activity identifier is combined with a unique source activity name; and retrieve by the workflow instance from the output store at runtime, the document based on a provided combination of the document source activity identifier and the unique source activity name, wherein the retrieving of the document is based on a query to match the unique source activity name across workflow activities of the workflow instance at runtime.
11. The processor readable non-transitory medium of claim 10 having processor executable instructions thereon, which when executed by a processor further cause the processor to: receive, as input into a document set of the workflow instance, one or more documents from an input activity of the workflow instance, the input comprising: document metadata associated with the one or more documents comprising the document set; select, by an output activity of the workflow instance, the one or more documents from the document set for input by designating the document metadata corresponding to the one or more documents; and select, by a processing activity of the workflow instance, the one or more documents from the document set to input by designating the corresponding document metadata.
