Description

CIM_ConcreteIdentity associates two elements representing different aspects of the same underlying entity. It is defined as a concrete subclass of the abstract CIM_LogicalIdentity class, to be used in place of many specific subclasses of LogicalIdentity that add no semantics - i.e., that do not clarify the type of identity, update cardinalities, or add/remove qualifiers. Note -that when defining additional semantics for LogicalIdentity that this class should not be subclassed. Specifc semantics continue to be defined as subclasses of the abstract CIM_LogicalIdentity. ConcreteIdentity is limited in its use as a concrete form of a general identity relationship. \n\nIt was deemed more prudent to create this concrete subclass than to change LogicalIdentity from an abstract to a concrete class. LogicalIdentity already had multiple abstract subclasses in the CIM Schema, and wider industry usage and impact could not be anticipated.
