public class Instance

extends ModelElement

The instance construct defines an entity to which a set of operations can be applied and which has a state that stores the effects of the operations.

In the metamodel Instance is connected to at least one Classifier which declares its structure and behavior. It has a set of attribute values and is connected to a set of Links, both sets matching the definitions of its Classifiers. The two sets implements the current state of the Instance. Instance is an abstract metaclass.
