Object Template vs Object Instance

Refer to the following examples to understand the relation between an object template, an instance and attributes.

Template	Template Attribute	Instance	Instance Attribute
Workshop A	product volume, electricity	Furnace, boiler, shelf	Furnace pressure, furnace humidity, boiler temperature, shelf height
Furnace	Temperature, pressure, humidity	Furnace A	Height, productivity, consumption
Staff	Age, gender, name	Staff A	Birth date, post

All template attributes will be inherited by the subordinate instances. For example, from the above staff example, staff A will have attributes including age, gender, name, birth date and post.
