One specific occurences of an object is called an instance. For example, a button is an object, but a button labeled "Click for the Date and Time" is an instance of that button.

An individual entity satisfying the description of a class or type. [D04844] RUP

An object that is a member of that class. An object created according to the definition of that class.

(Ontology terminology) A concrete object belonging to a specific class; for example, DataCloud 2.0 is an instance of the class 'project'. See also: class

An occurrence of an object in memory.

An instance of a WMI class represents a specific managed object of the type described by the class. Where the class generally models the real-world device or component in the general sense, each instance represents a specific occurrence of the device or component

A single occurrence of a resource.

One of a class of items, for example, pump-1 is instance of the pump class.

When specific values are assigned to all the resources defined in a class, the result is an instance of that class. Any instance of any class is called an object. Default values exist for all resources; before creating an object, users may override any default value.

A particular object of an object type.

A working copy of a class.

an actual occurrence of an object which is manipulated by a management protocol such as SNMP and SMUX.

Is an occurrance of an entity/data store, which is also a data flow flowing in the DFD.

An object that represents a specific occurrence of a particular class, with specific values for all its attributes.

The same as object. This term is used when we want to emphasize that an object characteristics are defined by another object (its class).

A particular occurrence of an object structure. Objects can have multiple instances that are independent of each other but share a similar structure of properties and methods.

An occurrence of a particular class in the database. An instance of a class is defined by assigning specific values to each of the class's attributes. Examples.

An instance is an individual, concrete entity with its own identity and value. An object is an instance of a class, a link is an instance of an association.

Synonym for object, often use to stress the fact that an object belongs to a particular class.

An Instance object places an item in the scene graph at a position and orientation specified by a Group. Specializations of Instance are used for more complex Geoms that require Instance-specific data to be persisted, e.g. PortalInstance, ClusterInstance. Refer to the class hierarchy for the complete list of specializations. class, P01

A single object of the world from which a model will be learned, or on which a model will be used (e.g., for prediction). In most machine learning work, instances are described by feature vectors; some work uses more complex representations (e.g., containing relations between instances or between parts of instances).

A single runtime occurrence of an object class.

A proper noun that refers to a particular, unique referent (as distinguished from nouns that refer to classes). This is a specific form of hyponym.

an object described by a class

An individual widget data structure. Widget instances are specific examples of widget classes. To instantiate a widget means to create an instance of a widget class.

An object for which memory is allocated or persistent.

An object that is a single occurrence of a particular class. An instance exists in memory or external media in persistent form.

An object is one instance of a class (script). Created by instantiation, and resides in memory as a working copy of the script. Any number of instances may be created from the same script, and each will have its own values for the properties (variables) defined in the script. In Director also known as a child object. See instantiation, reference, OO Fundamentals.

PDM: A row or record on a physical table or file, or a value in a column or field. LDM: A hypothetical data value or set of data values that might appear in the attribute or entity. Logical data model instances are used to aid in the understanding of the logical objects. Also referred to as "occurrence" or "sample data".

A concrete example of an abstract class; for example, "Lassie" is an instance of the class "dog." In Photon, an instance is usually a widget instance; for example, a pushbutton is an instance of the PtButton widget class. When an instance of a widget is created, the initial values of its resources are assigned.

An object oriented programming concept describing an active object.

An object which has a particular class as its type. The class serves as a template for instance creation.

An object created by instantiating a class. [Source: OMG Object Management Architecture Guide, Ed 2.0, September 1992] The following words are intended to convey the difference between object type and instance when discussing business objects, but are not literal synonyms: data record, database row, occurrence.

A particular example of a class. (It is always an object.) A particular instance or entity of a class. Each object has its own state. This enables me to have several objects of the same type (class).

A clone of an object. When the instance or original object is modified, its partner is also modified.

As defined for the Oracle7 and Oracle8 servers, an instance includes the background processes and memory areas required to access an ORACLE database. In SNMP, an instance has a different meaning. For objects that appear in tables, each row in the table represents an instance of that object.

A specific widget object as opposed to a general widget class.

In object-oriented programming, an object created by instantiating a class.

A named occurrence of a component created from a module definition. One module definition can occur in multiple instances.

See Object.

An object of a particular class. In programs written in the Java programming language, an instance of a class is created using the new operator followed by the class name.

A particular object in a class, usually associated with a variable name. An instance has state which can be changed by the modifiers of the class.

An object that is based on a particular class. Each instance of the class is a distinct object, with its own variable values and state. However, all instances of a class share the variable and method definitions specified in that class.

Something that exhibits the distinguishing characteristics of a class. Except for the class "object", the ultimate superclass, all classes and their physical members are instances.

An instantiation of a previously defined node created by the USE syntax.

An instance is a physical representation of a class in memory. In general, you will create an instance of a class through the use of the new operator. Once an instance of a class has been created, all instance methods and public members of that class are available through that instance.

An instance is the software realization of an object at run-time. It is an instantiation of an object in the execution space.

A computer or discovered application that is running in the PATROL-managed environment. An instance has all the attributes of the class that it belongs to. A computer instance is a monitored computer that has been added to the PATROL Console. An application instance is discovered by PATROL. See application discovery, application instance, and computer instance.

In the Objective-C language, an object that belongs to (is a member of) a particular class. Instances are created at run time according to the specification in the class definition.

This term is used differently in product design systems, in PDM product structure functions, and in image management systems. As used in product design, an instance is a reference to a geometric object that allows the same geometry to be located at several places in a geometric model assembly without actually copying the geometry. When the original geometry is modified the modifications automatically appear at every instance location. Similarly, in product structures, an instance is a reference to a Part. It allows the same Part to be used in several assemblies without copying all part information into the assembly. In image management, an instance is an occurrence of an image in some format. An image management system may maintain multiple instances of the same image in distributed locations to improve access performance.

A set of real-world entities that comply with a schema definition. In F-Logic terminology, instances are also called objects. The OWL standard term for instance is individual.

technically, a single use of an object class; for example, each time you run your word-processor or spreadsheet, that session amounts to an instance of that application; if you were to open two documents in separate windows, you would be working two instances ( language=American technical jargon)

In object-oriented languages such as Java, an object that belongs to (is a member of) a particular class. Instances are created at runtime according to the specification in the class definition.

An object of a given type. A specialization¤ of a given template.

An object created by a constructor is an instance of that constructor.

An object. When a class is instantiated to produce an object, we say the object is an instance of the class.

A representation of a real-world managed object that belongs to a specific class. Instances contain actual data.

A single object created from a class. Also, a variable is an instance of a data type.

An object of some class.

In C++, a piece of data whose structure is described by its membership in a class. Access to the data is provided only by the member functions defined by the class. For managed objects, a specific case or example of a managed object. For example, routers might be taken as an object class; one particular router would be an instance of that class.

An individual object of a particular class. A class is the definition of a type, and an actual occurrence of the class is called an instance. Each instance of a class can have different values for its variables.

A qualifier for a principal name. For services, an instance represents a particular occurrence of the server. For users, an instance allows a single user to assume additional (or alternate) roles with different authority.

1. a single occurrence of an object child object is an instance of a parent script, created with Lingo's new command. See instance variable, instantiate, OOP.

A particular occurrence of an object, such as a window, module, named pipe, or DDE session. Each instance has a unique handle that distinguishes it from other instances of the same type.

The combination of the System Global Area (SGA) and each process for the Oracle database. The memory and processes of an instance manage the associated database's data and serve the database users. Each instance has unique system identifier (SID), instance name, rollback segments, and thread ID.

a collection of processes and memory

a copy of an Oracle database

As defined for the Oracle Server, A system global area (SGA) and the Oracle background processes constitute an Oracle instance. Every time a database is started, a system global area is allocated and Oracle background processes are started. The SGA is deallocated when the instance shuts down.

The Oracle instance consists of the SGA, the Oracle background processes, and the datafiles that make up your database.

The background processes and memory areas required to access an ORACLE database. A database system requires one instance and one database. Every ORACLE instance has a single system global area (SGA); a multiple-user instance also requires several background processes. See also type and instance.

The combination of the System Global Area (SGA) and the Oracle background processes. When a database is started on a database server (regardless of the type of computer), Oracle allocates a memory area called the SGA and starts one or more Oracle processes. The memory and processes of an instance efficiently manage the associated database's data and serve the database users. You can connect to any instance to access information within a cluster database.

Combination of the background processes and memory buffers. An Oracle instance has two types of processes: user processes and Oracle Processes.

Every running Oracle database is associated with an Oracle instance. When a database is started on a database server (regardless of computer type), Oracle allocates a memory area called System Global Area (SGA) and starts an Oracle process. This combination of SGA and an Oracle process is called an instance. The memory and the process of an instance manage the associated database's data efficiently and serve the one or more database users.

The background processes and memory area required to access an Oracle database. A database system requires one instance and one database. An Oracle database server consists of an SGA and a set of Oracle database server system processes.

An instance of the running Oracle8 software referencing the database. When a database is started on a database server (regardless of the type of computer), Oracle allocates a memory area called the System Global Area (SGA) and starts one or more Oracle processes. This combination of the SGA and the Oracle processes is called an instance. The memory and processes of an instance efficiently manage the associated database's data and serve the database users. You can connect to any instance to access information within a parallel server database.

An instance is essentially an installation of the controller. However, there is not necessarily a one-to-one relationship between the instance and the controller. The controller is clusterable, meaning that if a controller is installed on three servers in one cluster, those three controllers act as one; therefore, an instance can have more than one controller. Also, a controller can manage any infrastructure it has access to, across instances, so that there can be more than one instance per controller. A good example of this is an infrastructure in which there are intranet, internet, and test lab environments. The test lab and intranet may be on two separate instances, but still managed via one controller. All instances of Lokahi at an organization can connect, read, and write to a single database/schema.

An Oracle Instance is a running Oracle Database made up of memory structures ( SGA) and background processes ( SMON, PMON, LGWR, DBW0, etc.). An instance only exists while it is up and running. Simply put, a database resides on disk, while an instance resides in memory database is normally managed by one, and only one, instance. However, when using RAC, multiple instances can be started for a single database (on different nodes of a cluster). Each instance is identified with a unique identifier known as the ORACLE_SID.

Instances, also known as instance dungeons or simply "dungeons", are special areas in World of Warcraft of which many copies can exist at once. "Instance" can also refer to a particular copy of such an area. These areas allow many groups of players to traverse the same geography and battle the same enemies at the same time, without interfering with each other.
