When a process or business object's name is changed all references to that process or business object are lost.

This great affect reusability and results in artifacts with improper names to retain references.

Proposed Solution:
Artifacts have a NAME (static for DB), LABEL (shown in GUI for ease), and DESCRIPTION. This will allow artifacts to have their LABEL updated easily without breaking any references to that artifact.

This is a good idea.  Processes and Objects already have a "processid" column within the "BPAProcess" table that doesn't change when changing the name, I've always wondered why the link is broken when renaming.  All the links and references should be off the "processid" GUID, but it appears name is important too for some reason.
