If you integrate buffer capicty vs pH what quantity does the integral represent?

Look at definition of the buffer capacity (http://www.chembuddy.com/?left=pH-calculation&right=pH-buffer-capacity) - it looks to me like the answer is very straightforward.

Yah, the way it was presented confused me.  Buffer capacity is the derivative of concentration vs pH.  ;)
