      [Abstract, Version ( "2.19.0" ),
       UMLPackagePath ( "CIM::Core::CoreElements" ),
       Description (
          "ManagedElement is an abstract class that provides a common "
          "superclass (or top of the inheritance tree) for the "
          "non-association classes in the CIM Schema." )]
   class CIM_ManagedElement {
   
         [Description (
             "InstanceID is an optional property that may be used to "
             "opaquely and uniquely identify an instance of this class "
             "within the scope of the instantiating Namespace. Various "
             "subclasses of this class may override this property to "
             "make it required, or a key. Such subclasses may also "
             "modify the preferred algorithms for ensuring uniqueness "
             "that are defined below.\n"
             "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 that is creating or defining the "
             "InstanceID or that is a registered ID 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 reused to identify different underlying "
             "(real-world) elements. If not null and the above "
             "\"preferred\" algorithm is not used, the defining entity "
             "must assure that the resulting InstanceID is not reused "
             "across any InstanceIDs produced by this or other "
             "providers for the NameSpace of this instance. \n"
             "If not set to null for DMTF-defined instances, the "
             "\"preferred\" algorithm must be used with the <OrgID> "
             "set to CIM." )]
      string InstanceID;
   
         [Description (
             "The Caption property is a short textual description "
             "(one- line string) of the object." ),
          MaxLen ( 64 )]
      string Caption;
   
         [Description (
             "The Description property provides a textual description "
             "of the object." )]
      string Description;
   
         [Description (
             "A user-friendly name for the object. This property "
             "allows each instance to define a user-friendly name in "
             "addition to its key properties, identity data, and "
             "description information. \n"
             "Note that the Name property of ManagedSystemElement is "
             "also defined as a user-friendly name. But, it is often "
             "subclassed to be a Key. It is not reasonable that the "
             "same property can convey both identity and a "
             "user-friendly name, without inconsistencies. Where Name "
             "exists and is not a Key (such as for instances of "
             "LogicalDevice), the same information can be present in "
             "both the Name and ElementName properties. Note that if "
             "there is an associated instance of "
             "CIM_EnabledLogicalElementCapabilities, restrictions on "
             "this properties may exist as defined in ElementNameMask "
             "and MaxElementNameLen properties defined in that class." )]
