    Description ( 
       "Abstract BasedOn is an association describing how "
       "StorageExtents (or views of StorageExtents) can be assembled "
       "from lower level Extents (or views of extents)." )]
class CIM_AbstractBasedOn : CIM_Dependency {

      [Override ( "Antecedent" ), 
       Description ( 
          "The lower level StorageExtent (or view of the extent)." )]
   CIM_ManagedElement REF Antecedent;

      [Override ( "Dependent" ), 
       Description ( 
          "The higher level StorageExtent (or view of the extent)." )]
   CIM_ManagedElement REF Dependent;

      [Description ( 
          "StartingAddress indicates where in lower level storage, "
          "the higher level Extent begins." )]
   uint64 StartingAddress;

      [Description ( 
          "EndingAddress indicates where in lower level storage, "
          "the higher level Extent ends. This property is useful "
          "when mapping non-contiguous Extents into a higher level "
          "grouping." )]
   uint64 EndingAddress;

      [Description ( 
          "If there is an order to the BasedOn associations that "
          "describe how a higher level StorageExtent is assembled, "
          "the OrderIndex property indicates this. When an order "
          "exists, the instances of BasedOn with the same Dependent "
          "value (i.e., the same higher level Extent) should place "
          "unique values in the OrderIndex property. The lowest "
          "value implies the first member of the collection of "
          "lower level Extents, and increasing values imply "
          "successive members of the collection. If there is no "
          "ordered relationship, a value of zero should be "
          "specified. An example of the use of this property is to "
          "define a RAID-0 striped array of 3 disks. The resultant "
          "RAID array is a StorageExtent that is dependent on "
          "(BasedOn) the StorageExtents that describe each of the 3 "
          "disks. The OrderIndex of each BasedOn association from "
          "the disk Extents to the RAID array could be specified as "
          "1, 2 and 3 to indicate the order in which the disk "
          "Extents are used to access the RAID data." )]
   uint16 OrderIndex;
