 /** @name Definition of Terms /** @name Definition of Terms
 This section provides definitions of terms and concepts used in the specification of the  DMTF CIM and WBEM specifications and of the Pegasus Managability Services Broker and its implementation. This section provides definitions of terms and concepts used in the specification of the  DMTF CIM and WBEM specifications and of the Pegasus Managability Services Broker and its implementation.
  
 <B>Namespace</B>\Label{NAMESPACE} - TBD definition of Namespace  <B>Namespace</B>\Label{NAMESPACE} - An object that defines a scope within which object keys must be unique. Multiple namespaces typically indicate the presence
   of multiple management spaces or multiple devices.
   
   The namespace pragma
       <PRE>
           #pragma namespace( )
       </PRE>
   This pragma is used to specify a Namespace path. The syntax
   needs to conform to the following:
       <PRE>
           <namespacetype>://<namespacehandle>
       </PRE>
   
   
   <P>The contents of a MOF file are loaded into a namespace that provides a domain (in other words, a container), in which the instances of the classes are guaranteed to be unique per the KEY qualifier definitions. The term namespace is used to refer to an implementation that provides such a domain.
   Namespaces can be used to:
   <UL>
       <LI>Define chunks of management information (objects and associations) to limit implementation resource requirements, such as database size.
       <LI>Define views on the model for applications managing only specific objects, such as hubs.
       <LI>Pre-structure groups of objects for optimized query speed.
    </UL>

 <B>Repository</B> \Label{} - The CIM Repository stores the CIM metaschema (class repository) and instance information (instance repository). TheRepository is provided as part of the reference implementation,  but is considered an independent service for the CIMOM. The interfaces to the respository are fixed but the supplied respository can be replaced with a different implementation. <B>Repository</B> \Label{} - The CIM Repository stores the CIM metaschema (class repository) and instance information (instance repository).

Compilation of MOF files provides developers and administrators with a simple and fast technique for modifying the CIM Repository. For more information about MOF, see the DMTF web page at http://www.dmtf.org. <B>MOF</B> \Label{MOF} - MOF is the standard language used to define elements of the Common Information Model (CIM).

 <B>Model</B> \Label{Model} - A set of classes, properties and associations that allows the expression of information about a specific domain. For example, a Network may consist of Network Devices and Logical Networks. The Network Devices may have attachment associations to each other, and may have member associations to Logical Networks.  <B>METHOD</B> \Label{METHOD} - Methods represent the behavior relevant for a class. A method is defined as an operation together with its signature. The signature consists of a possibly empty list of parameters and a return type.
