Object vs document store (database) = difference (nosql)?

I would be grateful for a short explanation of these different concepts. Wikipedia mentions both in the context of NoSQL, but I did not find any additional information about what the difference is between the two.

Comment update:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NoSQL#Object_database

against

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NoSQL#Document_store

But the difference is completely unclear to me. (Stackoverflow doesn’t allow you to post two links as newbies, so the links are actually disabled)

Thanks Jens

For most practical purposes there is no difference. A document is often just a serialized object, and if you only need a basic store, any key / value store can contain objects.

There may be differences in things, for example, how partial updates and queries are handled, but since there is no standard NoSQL, you get as many differences between products in the same category.
