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.
