All, CIMI says: Each resource in the CIMI model has an attribute called "properties." Consumers, when creating or updating a resource, may store any name/value pair in the "properties" attribute. CIMI Providers shall store and return these values to the Consumer. There is no obligation for the Provider to understand or take any action based on these values; they are there for the Consumer's convenience. Providers shall not add elements to this "properties" attribute.
