>> An object is a specific form of an instance: the instance of a class.
>> There are other forms of instances - for example
   -- in UML, a link is an instance of an association.
   -- A process can be an instance of RUP (which is a process framework). Etc.

>> Typically, you refer to an instance as a concrete manifestation
   of a more abstract concept.
