Each URI-reference used in a DAF implementation is either standard or implementation-specific.
A standard URI-reference is fixed at design time and represents a point of coordination between otherwise independent client
and/or data provider implementations. Generally, a standard URI-reference will include the domain name of the organization
that defined it and information to identify the version of the standard. This specification standardizes the URI-references
of CIM classes and properties.
Implementation-specific URI-references may be used in all other cases. This type of URI can be generated by the data-provider
in one of several ways:
• Based the resource’s (numeric) ResourceID.
• From attributes of the resource.
• By mapping a proprietary naming scheme to a URI syntax.
