    Version ( "2.10.0" ), Description (
       "CIM_ConcreteIdentity associates two elements that represent "
       "different aspects of the same underlying entity. It is defined "
       "as a concrete subclass of the abstract CIM_LogicalIdentity "
       "class, to be used in place of many specific subclasses of "
       "LogicalIdentity that add no semantics, that is, subclasses "
       "that do not clarify the type of identity, update "
       "cardinalities, or add or remove qualifiers. Note that when you "
       "define additional semantics for LogicalIdentity, this class "
       "should not be subclassed. Specific semantics continue to be "
       "defined as subclasses of the abstract CIM_LogicalIdentity. "
       "ConcreteIdentity is limited in its use as a concrete form of a "
       "general identity relationship. \n"
       "\n"
       "It was deemed more prudent to create this concrete subclass "
       "than to change LogicalIdentity from an abstract to a concrete "
       "class. LogicalIdentity already had multiple abstract "
       "subclasses in the CIM Schema, and wider industry usage and "
       "impact could not be anticipated.")]
