 9               The C++ Provider interfaces are organized by provider type where each provider
10               representes a catagory of CIM objects served.
11               
12               The defined provider types are:
13               
14               <OL>
15               <LI>Class Provider
16               <LI>Instance Provider
17               <LI>Property Provider
18               <LI>Method Provider
19               <LI>Association Provider
20               <LI>Indication Provider
21               <LI>Indication Consumer Provider
22               <LI>Query Provider
23               </OL>
24               
25               Each provider type class defines the methods associated with the class of CIM objects
26               served by the provider
