   [Abstract, Version ( "2.7.0" ), 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.")]

          "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"
          "<OrgID>:<LocalID> \n"
          "Where <OrgID> and <LocalID> are separated by a colon ':', "
          "and where <OrgID> 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 <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 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 <OrgID> set to 'CIM'.")]
