Difference between Implicit and Explicit contexts

Hi there!
I've searching around but without success!
I'm looking for the difference between Implicit and Explicit contexts and in which cases uses one or other.
Could anyone explain that difference?
Thanks in advance
Best regards
Catapult.

Implicit context means the variable is defined in the repository (may be shared with other jobs).
Explicit means it is defined for the job.
Use implicit as soon the value is cross job (username connection db, and so on)
