   [UMLPackagePath ( "CIM::Core::CoreElements" ), Abstract,
       Version ( "2.7.0" ), Description (
       "CIM_System represents an entity made up of component parts "
       "(defined by the SystemComponent relationship), that operates "
       "as a 'functional whole'. Systems are top level objects in the "
       "CIM hierarchy, requiring no scoping or weak relationships in "
       "order to exist and have context. It should be reasonable to "
       "uniquely name and manage a System at an enterprise level. For "
       "example, a ComputerSystem is a kind of System that can be "
       "uniquely named and independently managed in an enterprise. "
       "However, this is not true for the power supply (or the power "
       "supply sub-'system') within the computer. \n"
       "\n"
       "Although a System may be viewed as a Collection, this is not "
       "the correct model. A Collection is simply a 'bag' that 'holds' "
       "its members. A System is a higher level abstraction, built out "
       "of its individual components. It is more than a sum of its "
       "parts. Note that System is a subclass of EnabledLogicalElement "
       "which allows the entire abstraction to be functionally "
       "enabled/disabled - at a higher level than enabling/disabling "
       "its component parts.")]

      [Key, Description (
          "CreationClassName indicates the name of the class or the "
          "subclass used in the creation of an instance. When used "
          "with the other key properties of this class, this property "
          "allows all instances of this class and its subclasses to be "
          "uniquely identified."),

      [Description (
          "The System object and its derivatives are Top Level Objects "
          "of CIM. They provide the scope for numerous components. "
          "Having unique System keys is required. A heuristic can be "
          "defined in individual System subclasses to attempt to "
          "always generate the same System Name Key. The NameFormat "
          "property identifies how the System name was generated, "
          "using the subclass' heuristic."),
