 5           NOTE: need to add the basic definition of what flows between provider and cimom.

 7           The C++ Provider interfaces are organized by provider type where each provider
 8           representes a catagory of CIM objects served.
 9           
10           The defined provider types are:
11           
12           <OL>
13           <LI>Class Provider
14           <LI>Instance Provider
15           <LI>Property Provider
16           <LI>Method Provider
17           <LI>Association Provider
18           <LI>Indication Provider
19           <LI>Indication Consumer Provider
20           <LI>Query Provider
21           </OL>

23           Each provider type class defines the methods associated with the class of CIM objects
24           served by the provider
