Property Description
NameSpace, the value of InstanceID SHOULD be constructed using the following
'preferred' algorithm:
<OrgID> : <LocalID>
Where <OrgID> and <LocalID> are separated by a colon ':', and where <OrgID> MUST
include a copyrighted, trademarked or otherwise unique name that is owned by the
business entity creating/defining the InstanceID, or is a registered ID that is assigned
to the business entity by a recognized global authority (This is similar to the <Schema
Name> _<Class Name> structure of Schema class names.) In addition, to ensure
uniqueness <OrgID> MUST NOT contain a colon (':'). When using this algorithm, the
first colon to appear in InstanceID MUST appear between <OrgID> and <LocalID>.
<LocalID> is chosen by the business entity and SHOULD not be re-used to identify
different underlying (real-world) elements. If the above 'preferred' algorithm is not
used, the defining entity MUST assure that the resultant InstanceID is not re-used
across any InstanceIDs produced by this or other providers for this instance's
NameSpace. For DMTF defined instances, the 'preferred' algorithm MUST be used
with the <OrgID> set to 'CIM'.
