   [Version ( "2.10.0" ), Description (
       "SystemSpecificCollection represents the general concept of a "
       "collection that is scoped (or contained) by a System. It "
       "represents a Collection that has meaning only in the context "
       "of a System, a Collection whose elements are restricted by the "
       "definition of the System, or both of these types of "
       "Collections. This meaning is explicitly described by the "
       "(required) association, HostedCollection. \n"
       "An example of a SystemSpecificCollection is a Fibre Channel "
       "zone that collects network ports, port groupings, and aliases "
       "(as required by a customer) in the context of an AdminDomain. "
       "The Collection is not a part of the domain, but merely an "
       "arbitrary grouping of the devices and other Collections in the "
       "domain. In other words, the context of the Collection is "
       "restricted to the domain, and its members are also limited by "
       "the domain.")]

      [Key, Description (
          "Within the scope of the instantiating Namespace, InstanceID "
          "opaquely and uniquely identifies an instance of this class. "
          "To ensure uniqueness within the NameSpace, the value of "
          "InstanceID should be constructed using the following "
          "'preferred' algorithm: \n"
          "<OrgID>:<LocalID> \n"
          "Where <OrgID> and <LocalID> are separated by a colon ':', "
          "and where <OrgID> must include a unique name. It can be a "
          "copyrighted, trademarked, or otherwise unique name that is "
          "owned by the business entity that is creating or defining "
          "the InstanceID. Or, it could be a registered ID that is "
          "assigned to the business entity by a recognized global "
          "authority. (This requirement is similar to the <Schema "
          "Name>_<Class Name> structure of Schema class names.) In "
          "addition, to ensure uniqueness <OrgID> must not contain a "
          "colon (':'). When using this algorithm, the first colon to "
          "appear in InstanceID must appear between <OrgID> and "
          "<LocalID>. \n"
          "<LocalID> 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 ensure that the resulting "
          "InstanceID is not re-used as any of InstanceIDs produced by "
          "this or other providers for the NameSpace of this instance. "
          "\nFor DMTF-defined instances, the 'preferred' algorithm "
          "must be used with the <OrgID> set to 'CIM'.")]
