Hmm... semantics? imo this is not about the intstance of a Process (Java) object but of an instance of the Process as a business object as compared to the definition. Your argument is kind of still valid than (about removing the Instance part) just in another context. Otoh, it makes it kind of clear that it is *not* a definition.
