    Description ( 
       "A class derived from ManagedElement that provides "
       "instrumentation of BIOS configuration data or Attributes of a "
       "managed computer system or device. These attributes are "
       "surfaced in the form of BIOSAttribute instances. The "
       "CIM_BIOSAttribute object may be used to represent both "
       "configurable and static BIOS attributes." )]

       Description ( 
          "Within the scope of the instantiating Namespace, "
          "InstanceID opaquely and uniquely identifies an instance "
          "of this class. In order to ensure uniqueness within the "
          "NameSpace, the value of InstanceID SHOULD be constructed "
          "using the following 'preferred' algorithm: "
          "<OrgID>:<LocalID>Where <OrgID> and <LocalID> are "
          "separated by a colon &apos;:&apos;, and where <OrgID> "
          "MUST include a copyrighted, trademarked or otherwise "
          "unique name that is owned by the business entity "
          "creating/defining the InstanceID, or is a registered ID "
          "that is assigned to the business entity by a recognized "
          "global authority (This is similar to the <Schema "
          "Name>_<Class Name> structure of Schema class names.) In "
          "addition, to ensure uniqueness <OrgID> MUST NOT contain "
          "a colon (&apos;:&apos;). When using this algorithm, the "
          "first colon to appear in InstanceID MUST appear between "
          "<OrgID> and <LocalID>. <LocalID> is chosen by the "
          "business entity and SHOULD not be re-used to identify "
          "different underlying (real-world) elements. If the above "
          "&apos;preferred&apos; algorithm is not used, the "
          "defining entity MUST assure that the resultant "
          "InstanceID is not re-used across any InstanceIDs "
          "produced by this or other providers for this instance\'s "
          "NameSpace. For DMTF defined instances, the "
          "&apos;preferred&apos; algorithm MUST be used with the "
          "<OrgID> set to &apos;CIM&apos;." )]

          "A string identifying the structured element name for a "

          "defining the <identifier>, or is a registered ID that is "
          "assigned to the entity by a recognized global authority. "

          "reset. When a BIOS attribute has no pending changes, "
