 6           
 7           NOTE: need to add the basic definition of what flows between provider and cimom.
 8           
 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 mike  1.2 <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
27
