		+	== Geospatial Metadata Instance ==
		+	'''Simple Definition:''' '' A single and specific metadata document, typically created in conformance with a metadata standard.
		+
		+	'''Additional Explanation or Clarification:''' There is typically a metadata instance for each geospatial dataset in a GIS. The term "metadata instance" can be used to distinguish a specific metadata document from all metadata documents that conform to a particular metadata standard, or from the metadata standard itseld. (In a similar way, an isntance in object-oriented programming is different than the class or interface to which the instance conforms.)
		+
		+	You could think of a metadata standard as a cookie cutter, and a metadata as an individual cookie made from that cookie cutter.
		+
		+	'''Example:''' If you had a GIS that managed road data and car accident data in ESRI Shapefiles, you would have a metadata instance for each shapefile. One metadata instance might be named roads_metadata.txt while the other was named car_accidents_metadata.txt.
