The duties of an empire in Baseball are similar to a referee in another sport. They call things out during the game such as foul ball, strike, or out.
The umpire is the person that picks up all your mistakes. Like stepping, contact ect.
The engaged umpire is the one currently in control of play, normally because the ball is within their circle or 23 metre area. The disengaged umpire is, simply enough, the other umpire on the field, their coumpire. Their role is to provide asistance to the engaged umpire, to cover any areas of the field in which they are unsighted, and to maintain supervision of off-the-ball players. If necessary, the disengaged umpire should also focus on the timekeeping aspects (i.e. calling the end of halves) while their coumpire is distracted.

Netball doesn't have referees they have umpires. Their role is to rule on the plays in a game. If an umpire controls the game very strictly it can slow the game down which can have an impact on the players and enjoyment to spectators. A good umpire will arbitrate on rules allowing some leniency, enabling a fast and smooth game...which makes for an exciting spectacle.
