Description

• Identity class proposed description: “This is a root class to provide common identification for all classes.”
• Identity.identifier proposed description: “A universally unique object identifier. Used to uniquely identify persistent objects between CIM messages.”
• UUID class proposed description: “A UUID as defined by IEC/ISO 9348-8”
• IdentifiedObject must be updated as its description currently states it is a “root class”. This is no longer the case. Proposed update is: “This is a class that provides common identification for all classes needing identification and naming attributes.”
