I'm having a bit of struggle seeing the common thread among the examples in the intro - and between them and the examples at the end of the article. Perhaps you could explain the concept in words, at slightly more length than "two mathematical concepts .. the object and the map or morphism"? Having done that, having some examples follow might then be more illuminating. J. Noel Chiappa 15:24, 18 May 2008 (CDT)
