 5           
 6           The Common Information model (CIM) consists of a number of basic objects
 7           defined in the CIM specification.  This includes:
 8           <UL>
 9           <LI>Classes \Ref{CLASS}
10           <LI>Instances of Classes \Rf{REFERENCE}
11           <LI>Qualifiers \Ref{QUALIFIER}
12           <LI>Properties
13           <LI>Methods
14           <LI>Arrays
15           <LI>etc.
16           </UL>
17           Pegasus implements representations of these objects in C++ classes and
18           provides methods for creation, manipulation, and deletion of the objects.
19           
20           In addition, Pegasus implements a number of the key concepts built into CIM as objects including:
21

23           <LI> Scope
24           <LI> Flavor
25           <LIetc.
26           </UL>
27           
28           
29           There is a class for every major CIM object as follows:
30           
31           CIM Classes - ClassDecl
32           CIM Instances - InstanceDecl
33           CIM Qualifiers - Qualifier
34           CIM Properties - Property
35           CIM Methods - Method
36           CIM Scope - Scope
37           CIM Flavor - Flavor
38           CIM Qualifier Type - Qualifier types
39           CIM Arrays Array
