column mandatory OctetString
Within the scope of the instantiating Namespace, 
InstanceID opaquely and uniquely identifies an instance of this
class. In order to ensure uniqueness within the 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'.
