    Version ( "2.10.0" ), Description (
       "CIM_LogicalIdentity is an abstract and generic association, "
       "indicating that two ManagedElements represent different "
       "aspects of the same underlying entity. This relationship "
       "conveys what could be defined with multiple inheritance. In "
       "most scenarios, the Identity relationship is determined by the "
       "equivalence of Keys or some other identifying properties of "
       "the related Elements. \n"
       "\n"
       "This relationship is reasonable in several scenarios. For "
       "example, it could be used to represent that a LogicalDevice is "
       "both a 'bus' entity and a 'functional' entity. A Device could "
       "be both a USB (bus) and a Keyboard (functional) entity.")]

      [Key, Description (
          "SystemElement represents one aspect of the Managed Element. "
          "The use of 'System' in the role name does not limit the "
          "scope of the association. The role name was defined in the "
          "original association, where the referenced elements were "
          "limited to LogicalElements. Since that time, it has been "
          "found valuable to instantiate these types of relationships "
          "for ManagedElements, such as Collections. So, the "
          "referenced elements of the association were redefined to be "
          "ManagedElements. Unfortunately, the role name could not be "
          "changed without deprecating the entire association. This "
          "was not deemed necessary just to correct the role name.")]
