UMLPackagePath ( "CIM::Core::Capabilities" ), Description (
"Capabilities is an abstract class whose subclasses describe "
"abilities and/or potential for use. For example, one may "
"describe the maximum number of VLANs that can be supported on "
"a system using a subclass of Capabilities. Capabilities are "
"tied to the elements which they describe using the "
"ElementCapabilities association. Note that the cardinality of "
"the ManagedElement reference is Min(1), Max(1). This "
"cardinality mandates the instantiation of the "
"ElementCapabilities association for the referenced instance of "
"Capabilities. ElementCapabilities describes the existence "
"requirements and context for the referenced instance of "
"ManagedElement. Specifically, the ManagedElement MUST exist "
"and provides the context for the Capabilities. Note that "
"Capabilities do not indicate what IS configured or "
"operational, but what CAN or CANNOT exist, be defined or be "
"used. Note that it is possible to describe both supported and "
"excluded abilities and functions (both capabilities and "
"limitations) using this class.")]

[Key, 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: \n"
": \n"
"Where and are separated by a colon ':', "
"and where 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 _ structure of Schema class names.) In "
"addition, to ensure uniqueness MUST NOT contain a "
"colon (':'). When using this algorithm, the first colon to "
"appear in InstanceID MUST appear between and "
". \n"
" is chosen by the business entity and SHOULD not "
"be re-used to identify different underlying (real-world) "
"elements. If the above 'preferred' 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. \n"
"For DMTF defined instances, the 'preferred' algorithm MUST "
"be used with the set to 'CIM'.")]
