Properties (14)
Description A name given to the document, which may be used by a tool for display and navigation.
Description The date and time the document was published. The date-time value must be formatted according to RFC 3339 with full time and time zone included.
Remarks
This value represents the point in time when the OSCAL document was published. Typically, this date value will be machine generated at the time the containing document is published.
In some cases, an OSCAL document may be derived from some source material in a different
format. In such a case, the published value should indicate when the OSCAL document was published, not the source material.
Where necessary, the publication date of the original source material can be captured
as a named property or custom metadata construct.
A publisher of OSCAL content can use this data point along with its siblings last-modified and version to establish a sequence of successive revisions of a given OSCAL-based publication.
The metadata for previous revisions can be represented as a revision in this object.
Description The date and time the document was last modified. The date-time value must be formatted according to RFC 3339 with full time and time zone included.
Remarks
This value represents the point in time when the OSCAL document was last updated, or at the point of creation the creation date. Typically, this date value will be machine generated at time of creation or modification.
In some cases, an OSCAL document may be derived from some source material in a different
format. In such a case, the last-modified value should indicate the modification time of the OSCAL document, not the source
material.
A publisher of OSCAL content can use this data point along with its siblings published and version to establish a sequence of successive revisions of a given OSCAL-based publication.
The metadata for previous revisions can be represented as a revision in this object.
Description A string used to distinguish the current version of the document from other previous (and future) versions.
Remarks
A version string may be a release number, sequence number, date, or other identifier suffcient to distinguish between different document versions. This version is typically set by the document owner or by the tool used to maintain the content.
While not required, it is recommended that OSCAL content authors use Semantic Versioning as a format for version strings. This allows for the easy identification of a version tree consisting of major, minor, and patch numbers.
A publisher of OSCAL content can use this data point along with its siblings published and last-modified to establish a sequence of successive revisions of a given OSCAL-based publication.

or 1.0.0-M1
. That can be used as a hint by a tool to indicate which version of the OSCAL XML
or JSON schema to use for validation.
Description An attribute, characteristic, or quality of the containing object expressed as a namespace qualified name/value pair. The value of a property is a simple scalar value, which may be expressed as a list of values.
Remarks
Properties permit the deployment and management of arbitrary controlled values, within OSCAL objects. A property can be included for any purpose useful to an application or implementation. Typically, properties will be used to sort, filter, select, order, and arrange OSCAL content objects, to relate OSCAL objects to one another, or to associate an OSCAL object to class hierarchies, taxonomies, or external authorities. Thus, the lexical composition of properties may be constrained by external processes to ensure consistency.
Property allows for associated remarks that describe why the specific property value was applied to the containing object, or the significance of the value in the context of the containing object.
Properties (6)
Description A textual label that uniquely identifies a specific attribute, characteristic, or quality of the property's containing object.
Constraint (1)
allowed value
The value may be locally defined, or the following:
- marking: A label or descriptor that is tied to a sensitivity or classification marking system. An optional class can be used to define the specific marking system used for the associated value.
Description A machine-oriented, globally unique identifier with cross-instance scope that can be used to reference this defined property elsewhere in this or other OSCAL instances. This UUID should be assigned per-subject, which means it should be consistently used to identify the same subject across revisions of the document.
Description A namespace qualifying the property's name. This allows different organizations to associate distinct semantics with the same name.
Remarks
Provides a means to segment the value space for the name, so that different organizations and individuals can assert control over the allowed
names and associated values used in a property. This allows the semantics associated
with a given name/value pair to be defined on an organization-by-organization basis.
An organization MUST use a URI that they have control over. e.g., a domain registered to the organization in a URI, a registered uniform resource names (URN) namespace.
When a ns is not provided, its value should be assumed to be http://csrc.nist.gov/ns/oscal and the name should be a name defined by the associated OSCAL model.
Description Indicates the value of the attribute, characteristic, or quality.
Description A textual label that provides a sub-type or characterization of the property's name. This can be used to further distinguish or discriminate between the semantics of
multiple properties of the same object with the same name and ns.
Remarks
A class can be used in validation rules to express extra constraints over named items of
a specific class value.
Description Additional commentary on the containing object.
Description A reference to a local or remote resource
Remarks
To provide a cryptographic hash for a remote target resource, a local reference to
a back matter resource is needed. The resource allows one or more hash values to be provided using the rlink/hash object.
The OSCAL link is a roughly based on the HTML link element.
Constraints (3)
matches for .[@rel=('reference') and starts-with(@href,'#')]/@href: the target value must match the lexical form of the 'uri-reference' data type.
index has key for .[@rel=('reference') and starts-with(@href,'#')]this value must correspond to a listing in the index index-back-matter-resource using a key constructed of key field(s) @href
matches for .[@rel=('reference') and not(starts-with(@href,'#'))]/@href: the target value must match the lexical form of the 'uri' data type.
Properties (4)
Description A resolvable URL reference to a resource.
Remarks
The value of the href can be an internet resource, or a local reference using a fragment e.g. #fragment
that points to a back-matter resource in the same document.
If a local reference using a fragment is used, this will be indicated by a fragment
"#" followed by an identifier which references an identified resource in the document's back-matter or another object that is within the scope of the containing OSCAL document.
If an internet resource is used, the href value will be an absolute or relative URI pointing to the location of the referenced
resource. A relative URI will be resolved relative to the location of the document
containing the link.
Description Describes the type of relationship provided by the link. This can be an indicator of the link's purpose.
Constraint (1)
allowed value
The value may be locally defined, or the following:
- reference: Reference
Description Specifies a media type as defined by the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) Media Types Registry.
Remarks
The media-type provides a hint about the content model of the referenced resource. A valid entry
from the IANA Media Types registry SHOULD be used.
Description A textual label to associate with the link, which may be used for presentation in a tool.
Description Additional commentary on the containing object.
Description A document identifier qualified by an identifier scheme. A document identifier provides a globally unique identifier with a cross-instance scope that is used for a group of documents that are to be treated as different versions
of the same document. If this element does not appear, or if the value of this element
is empty, the value of "document-id" is equal to the value of the "uuid" flag of the
top-level root element.
Remarks
This element is optional, but it will always have a valid value, as if it is missing the value of "document-id" is assumed to be equal to the UUID of the root. This requirement allows for document creators to retroactively link an update to the original version, by providing a document-id on the new document that is equal to the uuid of the original document.
Properties (2)
Description Qualifies the kind of document identifier using a URI. If the scheme is not provided the value of the element will be interpreted as a string of characters.
Constraint (1)
allowed value
The value may be locally defined, or the following:
- https://www.doi.org/: A Digital Object Identifier (DOI); use is preferred, since this allows for retrieval of a full bibliographic record.
Description An attribute, characteristic, or quality of the containing object expressed as a namespace qualified name/value pair. The value of a property is a simple scalar value, which may be expressed as a list of values.
Remarks
Properties permit the deployment and management of arbitrary controlled values, within OSCAL objects. A property can be included for any purpose useful to an application or implementation.

Description Defines a function assumed or expected to be assumed by a party in a specific situation.
Remarks
Permissible values to be determined closer to the application (e.g. by a receiving authority).
OSCAL has defined a set of standardized roles for consistent use in OSCAL documents. This allows tools consuming OSCAL content to infer specific semantics when these roles are used. These roles are documented in the specific contexts of their use (e.g., responsible-party, responsible-role). When using such a role, it is necessary to define these roles in this list, which will then allow such a role to be referenced.
Properties (7)
Description A human-oriented, locally unique identifier with cross-instance scope that can be used to reference this defined role elsewhere in this or other OSCAL instances. When referenced from another OSCAL instance, the locally defined ID of the Role from the imported OSCAL instance must be referenced in the context of the containing
resource (e.g., import, import-component-definition, import-profile, import-ssp or
import-ap). This ID should be assigned per-subject, which means it should be consistently used to identify the same subject across revisions
of the document.
Description A name given to the role, which may be used by a tool for display and navigation.
Description A short common name, abbreviation, or acronym for the role.
Description A summary of the role's purpose and associated responsibilities.
Description An attribute, characteristic, or quality of the containing object expressed as a namespace qualified name/value pair. The value of a property is a simple scalar value, which may be expressed as a list of values.

Description Additional commentary on the containing object.
Description A reference to one or more roles with responsibility for performing a function relative to the containing object.
Properties (5)
Description A human-oriented identifier reference to roles responsible for the business function.
Description An attribute, characteristic, or quality of the containing object expressed as a namespace qualified name/value pair. The value of a property is a simple scalar value, which may be expressed as a list of values.
Remarks
Properties permit the deployment and management of arbitrary controlled values, within OSCAL objects. A property can be included for any purpose useful to an application or implementation. Typically, properties will be used to sort, filter, select, order, and arrange OSCAL content objects, to relate OSCAL objects to one another, or to associate an OSCAL object to class hierarchies, taxonomies, or external authorities. Thus, the lexical composition of properties may be constrained by external processes to ensure consistency.
Property allows for associated remarks that describe why the specific property value was applied to the containing object, or the significance of the value in the context of the containing object.

Remarks
Provides a means to segment the value space for the name, so that different organizations and individuals can assert control over the allowed
names and associated values used in a property. This allows the semantics associated
with a given name/value pair to be defined on an organization-by-organization basis.
An organization MUST use a URI that they have control over. e.g., a domain registered to the organization in a URI, a registered uniform resource names (URN) namespace.
When a ns is not provided, its value should be assumed to be http://csrc.nist.gov/ns/oscal and the name should be a name defined by the associated OSCAL model.

Typically, properties will be used to sort, filter, select, order, and arrange OSCAL content objects, to relate OSCAL objects to one another, or to associate an OSCAL object to class hierarchies, taxonomies, or external authorities. Thus, the lexical composition of properties may be constrained by external processes to ensure consistency.
Property allows for associated remarks that describe why the specific property value was applied to the containing object, or the significance of the value in the context of the containing object.
Properties (6)
Description A textual label that uniquely identifies a specific attribute, characteristic, or quality of the property's containing object.
Constraint (1)
allowed value
The value may be locally defined, or the following:
- marking: A label or descriptor that is tied to a sensitivity or classification marking system. An optional class can be used to define the specific marking system used for the associated value.
Description A machine-oriented, globally unique identifier with cross-instance scope that can be used to reference this defined property elsewhere in this or other OSCAL instances. This UUID should be assigned per-subject, which means it should be consistently used to identify the same subject across revisions of the document.
Description A namespace qualifying the property's name. This allows different organizations to associate distinct semantics with the same name.
Remarks
Provides a means to segment the value space for the name, so that different organizations and individuals can assert control over the allowed
names and associated values used in a property. This allows the semantics associated
with a given name/value pair to be defined on an organization-by-organization basis.
An organization MUST use a URI that they have control over. e.g., a domain registered to the organization in a URI, a registered uniform resource names (URN) namespace.
When a ns is not provided, its value should be assumed to be http://csrc.nist.gov/ns/oscal and the name should be a name defined by the associated OSCAL model.

Properties permit the deployment and management of arbitrary controlled values, within OSCAL objects. A property can be included for any purpose useful to an application or implementation. Typically, properties will be used to sort, filter, select, order, and arrange OSCAL content objects, to relate OSCAL objects to one another, or to associate an OSCAL object to class hierarchies, taxonomies, or external authorities. Thus, the lexical composition of properties may be constrained by external processes to ensure consistency.
Property allows for associated remarks that describe why the specific property value was applied to the containing object, or the significance of the value in the context of the containing object.
Properties (6)
Description A textual label that uniquely identifies a specific attribute, characteristic, or quality of the property's containing object.
Constraint (1)
allowed value
The value may be locally defined, or the following:
- marking: A label or descriptor that is tied to a sensitivity or classification marking system. An optional class can be used to define the specific marking system used for the associated value.
Description A machine-oriented, globally unique identifier with cross-instance scope that can be used to reference this defined property elsewhere in this or other OSCAL instances. This UUID should be assigned per-subject, which means it should be consistently used to identify the same subject across revisions of the document.
Description A namespace qualifying the property's name. This allows different organizations to associate distinct semantics with the same name.
Remarks
Provides a means to segment the value space for the name, so that different organizations and individuals can assert control over the allowed
names and associated values used in a property. This allows the semantics associated
with a given name/value pair to be defined on an organization-by-organization basis.
An organization MUST use a URI that they have control over. e.g., a domain registered to the organization in a URI, a registered uniform resource names (URN) namespace.
When a ns is not provided, its value should be assumed to be http://csrc.nist.gov/ns/oscal and the name should be a name defined by the associated OSCAL model.
Description Indicates the value of the attribute, characteristic, or quality.
Description A textual label that provides a sub-type or characterization of the property's name. This can be used to further distinguish or discriminate between the semantics of
multiple properties of the same object with the same name and ns.

Description An attribute, characteristic, or quality of the containing object expressed as a namespace qualified name/value pair. The value of a property is a simple scalar value, which may be expressed as a list of values.
Remarks
Properties permit the deployment and management of arbitrary controlled values, within OSCAL objects. A property can be included for any purpose useful to an application or implementation. Typically, properties will be used to sort, filter, select, order, and arrange OSCAL content objects, to relate OSCAL objects to one another, or to associate an OSCAL object to class hierarchies, taxonomies, or external authorities. Thus, the lexical composition of properties may be constrained by external processes to ensure consistency.
Property allows for associated remarks that describe why the specific property value was applied to the containing object, or the significance of the value in the context of the containing object.

- party: A reference to a party defined within the document metadata.
Description A machine-oriented identifier reference to the tool or person based on the associated type.
Description For a party, this can optionally be used to specify the role the actor was performing.
Description An attribute, characteristic, or quality of the containing object expressed as a namespace qualified name/value pair. The value of a property is a simple scalar value, which may be expressed as a list of values.
Remarks
Properties permit the deployment and management of arbitrary controlled values, within OSCAL objects. A property can be included for any purpose useful to an application or implementation. Typically, properties will be used to sort, filter, select, order, and arrange OSCAL content objects, to relate OSCAL objects to one another, or to associate an OSCAL object to class hierarchies, taxonomies, or external authorities. Thus, the lexical composition of properties may be constrained by external processes to ensure consistency.
Property allows for associated remarks that describe why the specific property value was applied to the containing object, or the significance of the value in the context of the containing object.
Properties (6)
Description A textual label that uniquely identifies a specific attribute, characteristic, or quality of the property's containing object.
Constraint (1)
allowed value
The value may be locally defined, or the following:
- marking: A label or descriptor that is tied to a sensitivity or classification marking system. An optional class can be used to define the specific marking system used for the associated value.
Description A machine-oriented, globally unique identifier with cross-instance scope that can be used to reference this defined property elsewhere in this or other OSCAL instances. This UUID should be assigned per-subject, which means it should be consistently used to identify the same subject across revisions of the document.
Description A namespace qualifying the property's name. This allows different organizations to associate distinct semantics with the same name.
Remarks
Provides a means to segment the value space for the name, so that different organizations and individuals can assert control over the allowed
names and associated values used in a property. This allows the semantics associated
with a given name/value pair to be defined on an organization-by-organization basis.
An organization MUST use a URI that they have control over. e.g., a domain registered to the organization in a URI, a registered uniform resource names (URN) namespace.
When a ns is not provided, its value should be assumed to be http://csrc.nist.gov/ns/oscal and the name should be a name defined by the associated OSCAL model.
Description Indicates the value of the attribute, characteristic, or quality.
Description A textual label that provides a sub-type or characterization of the property's name. This can be used to further distinguish or discriminate between the semantics of
multiple properties of the same object with the same name and ns.

Description A human-readable description of the collection of subjects being included in this assessment.
Description An attribute, characteristic, or quality of the containing object expressed as a namespace qualified name/value pair. The value of a property is a simple scalar value, which may be expressed as a list of values.
Remarks
Properties permit the deployment and management of arbitrary controlled values, within OSCAL objects. A property can be included for any purpose useful to an application or implementation. Typically, properties will be used to sort, filter, select, order, and arrange OSCAL content objects, to relate OSCAL objects to one another, or to associate an OSCAL object to class hierarchies, taxonomies, or external authorities. Thus, the lexical composition of properties may be constrained by external processes to ensure consistency.
Property allows for associated remarks that describe why the specific property value was applied to the containing object, or the significance of the value in the context of the containing object.
Properties (6)
Description A textual label that uniquely identifies a specific attribute, characteristic, or quality of the property's containing object.
Constraint (1)
allowed value
The value may be locally defined, or the following:
- marking: A label or descriptor that is tied to a sensitivity or classification marking system. An optional class can be used to define the specific marking system used for the associated value.
Description A machine-oriented, globally unique identifier with cross-instance scope that can be used to reference this defined property elsewhere in this or other OSCAL instances. This UUID should be assigned per-subject, which means it should be consistently used to identify the same subject across revisions of the document.
Description A namespace qualifying the property's name. This allows different organizations to associate distinct semantics with the same name.
Remarks
Provides a means to segment the value space for the name, so that different organizations and individuals can assert control over the allowed
names and associated values used in a property. This allows the semantics associated
with a given name/value pair to be defined on an organization-by-organization basis.
An organization MUST use a URI that they have control over. e.g., a domain registered to the organization in a URI, a registered uniform resource names (URN) namespace.
When a ns is not provided, its value should be assumed to be http://csrc.nist.gov/ns/oscal and the name should be a name defined by the associated OSCAL model.
Description Indicates the value of the attribute, characteristic, or quality.
Description A textual label that provides a sub-type or characterization of the property's name. This can be used to further distinguish or discriminate between the semantics of
multiple properties of the same object with the same name and ns.
Remarks
A class can be used in validation rules to express extra constraints over named items of
a specific class value.
Description Additional commentary on the containing object.
Description A reference to a local or remote resource
Remarks
To provide a cryptographic hash for a remote target resource, a local reference to
a back matter resource is needed. The resource allows one or more hash values to be provided using the rlink/hash object.
The OSCAL link is a roughly based on the HTML link element.
Constraints (3)

"#" followed by an identifier which references an identified resource in the document's back-matter or another object that is within the scope of the containing OSCAL document.
If an internet resource is used, the href value will be an absolute or relative URI pointing to the location of the referenced
resource. A relative URI will be resolved relative to the location of the document
containing the link.
Description Describes the type of relationship provided by the link. This can be an indicator of the link's purpose.

Properties (6)
Description The name of the risk metric within the specified system.
Description Specifies the naming system under which this risk metric is organized, which allows for the same names to be used in different systems controlled by different parties. This avoids the potential of a name clash.
Constraint (1)
allowed values
The value may be locally defined, or one of the following:
- http://fedramp.gov
- http://csrc.nist.gov/ns/oscal
- http://csrc.nist.gov/ns/oscal/unknown: The facet is from an unknown taxonomy. The meaning of the name is tool or organization specific.

- http://www.first.org/cvss/v2.0
- http://www.first.org/cvss/v3.0
- http://www.first.org/cvss/v3.1
Description Indicates the value of the facet.
Description An attribute, characteristic, or quality of the containing object expressed as a namespace qualified name/value pair. The value of a property is a simple scalar value, which may be expressed as a list of values.
Remarks
Properties permit the deployment and management of arbitrary controlled values, within OSCAL objects. A property can be included for any purpose useful to an application or implementation. Typically, properties will be used to sort, filter, select, order, and arrange OSCAL content objects, to relate OSCAL objects to one another, or to associate an OSCAL object to class hierarchies, taxonomies, or external authorities. Thus, the lexical composition of properties may be constrained by external processes to ensure consistency.
Property allows for associated remarks that describe why the specific property value was applied to the containing object, or the significance of the value in the context of the containing object.
Properties (6)
Description A textual label that uniquely identifies a specific attribute, characteristic, or quality of the property's containing object.
Constraint (1)
allowed value
The value may be locally defined, or the following:
- marking: A label or descriptor that is tied to a sensitivity or classification marking system. An optional class can be used to define the specific marking system used for the associated value.
Description A machine-oriented, globally unique identifier with cross-instance scope that can be used to reference this defined property elsewhere in this or other OSCAL instances. This UUID should be assigned per-subject, which means it should be consistently used to identify the same subject across revisions of the document.
Description A namespace qualifying the property's name. This allows different organizations to associate distinct semantics with the same name.
Remarks
Provides a means to segment the value space for the name, so that different organizations and individuals can assert control over the allowed
names and associated values used in a property. This allows the semantics associated
with a given name/value pair to be defined on an organization-by-organization basis.
An organization MUST use a URI that they have control over. e.g., a domain registered to the organization in a URI, a registered uniform resource names (URN) namespace.
When a ns is not provided, its value should be assumed to be http://csrc.nist.gov/ns/oscal and the name should be a name defined by the associated OSCAL model.
Description Indicates the value of the attribute, characteristic, or quality.
Description A textual label that provides a sub-type or characterization of the property's name. This can be used to further distinguish or discriminate between the semantics of
multiple properties of the same object with the same name and ns.
Remarks
A class can be used in validation rules to express extra constraints over named items of
a specific class value.
Description Additional commentary on the containing object.
Description A reference to a local or remote resource
Remarks
To provide a cryptographic hash for a remote target resource, a local reference to
a back matter resource is needed. The resource allows one or more hash values to be provided using the rlink/hash object.
The OSCAL link is a roughly based on the HTML link element.

"#" followed by an identifier which references an identified resource in the document's back-matter or another object that is within the scope of the containing OSCAL document.
If an internet resource is used, the href value will be an absolute or relative URI pointing to the location of the referenced
resource. A relative URI will be resolved relative to the location of the document
containing the link.
Description Describes the type of relationship provided by the link. This can be an indicator of the link's purpose.

Mitigating Factor
Description Describes an existing mitigating factor that may affect the overall determination of the risk, with an optional link to an implementation statement in the SSP.
Properties (6)
Description A machine-oriented, globally unique identifier with cross-instance scope that can be used to reference this mitigating factor elsewhere in this or other OSCAL instances. The locally defined UUID of the mitigating factor can be used to reference the data item locally or globally (e.g., in an imported

of the document.
Description A machine-oriented, globally unique identifier with cross-instance scope that can be used to reference this implementation statement elsewhere in this or other OSCAL instancess. The locally defined UUID of the implementation statement can be used to reference the data item locally or globally (e.g., in an imported
OSCAL instance). This UUID should be assigned per-subject, which means it should be consistently used to identify the same subject across revisions
of the document.
Description A human-readable description of this mitigating factor.
Description An attribute, characteristic, or quality of the containing object expressed as a namespace qualified name/value pair. The value of a property is a simple scalar value, which may be expressed as a list of values.
Remarks
Properties permit the deployment and management of arbitrary controlled values, within OSCAL objects. A property can be included for any purpose useful to an application or implementation. Typically, properties will be used to sort, filter, select, order, and arrange OSCAL content objects, to relate OSCAL objects to one another, or to associate an OSCAL object to class hierarchies, taxonomies, or external authorities. Thus, the lexical composition of properties may be constrained by external processes to ensure consistency.
Property allows for associated remarks that describe why the specific property value was applied to the containing object, or the significance of the value in the context of the containing object.

The value of the href can be an internet resource, or a local reference using a fragment e.g. #fragment
that points to a back-matter resource in the same document.
If a local reference using a fragment is used, this will be indicated by a fragment
"#" followed by an identifier which references an identified resource in the document's back-matter or another object that is within the scope of the containing OSCAL document.
If an internet resource is used, the href value will be an absolute or relative URI pointing to the location of the referenced
resource. A relative URI will be resolved relative to the location of the document
containing the link.
Description Describes the type of relationship provided by the link. This can be an indicator of the link's purpose.
Constraint (1)
allowed value
The value may be locally defined, or the following:
- reference: Reference
Description Specifies a media type as defined by the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) Media Types Registry.
Remarks
The media-type provides a hint about the content model of the referenced resource. A valid entry
from the IANA Media Types registry SHOULD be used.
Description A textual label to associate with the link, which may be used for presentation in a tool.
Description Additional commentary on the containing object.
Description Identifies system elements being assessed, such as components, inventory items, and locations. In the assessment plan, this identifies a planned assessment subject. In the assessment results this is an actual assessment subject, and reflects any changes from the plan. exactly what will be the focus of this assessment. Any subjects not identified in this way are out-of-scope.
Remarks
Processing of an include/exclude pair starts with processing the include, then removing matching entries in the exclude.
The assessment subjects that the task was performed against.
Properties (7)
Description Indicates the type of assessment subject, such as a component, inventory, item, location, or party represented by this selection statement.
Constraint (1)
allowed values
The value may be locally defined, or one of the following:

- user: The referenced assessment subject is a user defined in the SSP, or in the local-definitions of an Assessment Plan or Assessment Results.
Description A human-readable description of the collection of subjects being included in this assessment.
Description An attribute, characteristic, or quality of the containing object expressed as a namespace qualified name/value pair. The value of a property is a simple scalar value, which may be expressed as a list of values.
Remarks
Properties permit the deployment and management of arbitrary controlled values, within OSCAL objects. A property can be included for any purpose useful to an application or implementation. Typically, properties will be used to sort, filter, select, order, and arrange OSCAL content objects, to relate OSCAL objects to one another, or to associate an OSCAL object to class hierarchies, taxonomies, or external authorities. Thus, the lexical composition of properties may be constrained by external processes to ensure consistency.
Property allows for associated remarks that describe why the specific property value was applied to the containing object, or the significance of the value in the context of the containing object.
Properties (6)
Description A textual label that uniquely identifies a specific attribute, characteristic, or quality of the property's containing object.
Constraint (1)
allowed value

Description A machine-oriented, globally unique identifier with cross-instance scope that can be used to reference this defined property elsewhere in this or other OSCAL instances. This UUID should be assigned per-subject, which means it should be consistently used to identify the same subject across revisions of the document.
Description A namespace qualifying the property's name. This allows different organizations to associate distinct semantics with the same name.
Remarks
Provides a means to segment the value space for the name, so that different organizations and individuals can assert control over the allowed
names and associated values used in a property. This allows the semantics associated
with a given name/value pair to be defined on an organization-by-organization basis.
An organization MUST use a URI that they have control over. e.g., a domain registered to the organization in a URI, a registered uniform resource names (URN) namespace.
When a ns is not provided, its value should be assumed to be http://csrc.nist.gov/ns/oscal and the name should be a name defined by the associated OSCAL model.
Description Indicates the value of the attribute, characteristic, or quality.
Description A textual label that provides a sub-type or characterization of the property's name. This can be used to further distinguish or discriminate between the semantics of
multiple properties of the same object with the same name and ns.

Properties (4)
Description A resolvable URL reference to a resource.
Remarks
The value of the href can be an internet resource, or a local reference using a fragment e.g. #fragment
that points to a back-matter resource in the same document.
If a local reference using a fragment is used, this will be indicated by a fragment
"#" followed by an identifier which references an identified resource in the document's back-matter or another object that is within the scope of the containing OSCAL document.
If an internet resource is used, the href value will be an absolute or relative URI pointing to the location of the referenced
resource. A relative URI will be resolved relative to the location of the document
containing the link.
Description Describes the type of relationship provided by the link. This can be an indicator of the link's purpose.
Constraint (1)
allowed value
The value may be locally defined, or the following:

Description A machine-oriented, globally unique identifier with cross-instance scope that can be used to reference this defined property elsewhere in this or other OSCAL instances. This UUID should be assigned per-subject, which means it should be consistently used to identify the same subject across revisions of the document.
Description A namespace qualifying the property's name. This allows different organizations to associate distinct semantics with the same name.
Remarks
Provides a means to segment the value space for the name, so that different organizations and individuals can assert control over the allowed
names and associated values used in a property. This allows the semantics associated
with a given name/value pair to be defined on an organization-by-organization basis.
An organization MUST use a URI that they have control over. e.g., a domain registered to the organization in a URI, a registered uniform resource names (URN) namespace.
When a ns is not provided, its value should be assumed to be http://csrc.nist.gov/ns/oscal and the name should be a name defined by the associated OSCAL model.
Description Indicates the value of the attribute, characteristic, or quality.
Description A textual label that provides a sub-type or characterization of the property's name. This can be used to further distinguish or discriminate between the semantics of
multiple properties of the same object with the same name and ns.
Remarks
A class can be used in validation rules to express extra constraints over named items of
a specific class value.
Description Additional commentary on the containing object.
Description A reference to a local or remote resource
Remarks
To provide a cryptographic hash for a remote target resource, a local reference to
a back matter resource is needed. The resource allows one or more hash values to be provided using the rlink/hash object.
The OSCAL link is a roughly based on the HTML link element.
Constraints (3)
matches for .[@rel=('reference') and starts-with(@href,'#')]/@href: the target value must match the lexical form of the 'uri-reference' data type.
index has key for .[@rel=('reference') and starts-with(@href,'#')]this value must correspond to a listing in the index index-back-matter-resource using a key constructed of key field(s) @href
matches for .[@rel=('reference') and not(starts-with(@href,'#'))]/@href: the target value must match the lexical form of the 'uri' data type.
Properties (4)
Description A resolvable URL reference to a resource.
Remarks
The value of the href can be an internet resource, or a local reference using a fragment e.g. #fragment
that points to a back-matter resource in the same document.
If a local reference using a fragment is used, this will be indicated by a fragment
"#" followed by an identifier which references an identified resource in the document's back-matter or another object that is within the scope of the containing OSCAL document.
If an internet resource is used, the href value will be an absolute or relative URI pointing to the location of the referenced
resource. A relative URI will be resolved relative to the location of the document
containing the link.
Description Describes the type of relationship provided by the link. This can be an indicator of the link's purpose.
Constraint (1)
allowed value
The value may be locally defined, or the following:
- reference: Reference
Description Specifies a media type as defined by the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) Media Types Registry.
Remarks
The media-type provides a hint about the content model of the referenced resource. A valid entry
from the IANA Media Types registry SHOULD be used.
Description A textual label to associate with the link, which may be used for presentation in a tool.
Description Relates the poam-item to a set of referenced observations that were used to determine the finding.
Property (1)
Description A machine-oriented identifier reference to an observation defined in the list of observations.
Description Relates the finding to a set of referenced risks that were used to determine the finding.
Property (1)
Description A machine-oriented identifier reference to a risk defined in the list of risks.
Description Additional commentary on the containing object.
Description A collection of resources, which may be included directly or by reference.
Remarks
Provides a collection of identified resource objects that can be referenced by a link with a rel value of "reference" and an href value that is a fragment "#" followed by a reference to a reference identifier. Other
specialized link "rel" values also use this pattern when indicated in that context
of use.
Constraint (1)
index for resource an index index-back-matter-resource shall list values returned by targets resource using keys constructed of key field(s) @uuid
Property (1)
(array member)
object
[1 to ∞]
Resource
Description A resource associated with content in the containing document. A resource may be directly included in the document base64 encoded or may point to one or more equivalent internet resources.
Remarks
A resource can be used in two ways. 1) it may point to an specific retrievable network
resource using a rlink, or 2) it may be included as an attachment using a base64. A resource may contain multiple rlink and base64 entries that represent alternative download locations (rlink) and attachments (base64)
for the same resource. Both rlink and base64 allow for a media-type to be specified, which is used to distinguish between different representations of
the same resource (e.g., Microsoft Word, PDF). When multiple rlink and base64 items are included for a given resource, all items must contain equivalent information.
This allows the document consumer to choose a preferred item to process based on a
the selected item's media-type. This is extremely important when the items represent OSCAL content that is represented
in alternate formats (i.e., XML, JSON, YAML), allowing the same OSCAL data to be processed
from any of the available formats indicated by the items.
When a resource includes a citation, then the title and citation properties must both be included.

Properties (9)
Description A machine-oriented, globally unique identifier with cross-instance scope that can be used to reference this defined resource elsewhere in this or other OSCAL instances. This UUID should be assigned per-subject, which means it should be consistently used to identify the same subject across revisions of the document.
Description A name given to the resource, which may be used by a tool for display and navigation.
Description A short summary of the resource used to indicate the purpose of the resource.
Description An attribute, characteristic, or quality of the containing object expressed as a namespace qualified name/value pair. The value of a property is a simple scalar value, which may be expressed as a list of values.
Remarks
Properties permit the deployment and management of arbitrary controlled values, within OSCAL objects. A property can be included for any purpose useful to an application or implementation. Typically, properties will be used to sort, filter, select, order, and arrange OSCAL content objects, to relate OSCAL objects to one another, or to associate an OSCAL object to class hierarchies, taxonomies, or external authorities. Thus, the lexical composition of properties may be constrained by external processes to ensure consistency.
Property allows for associated remarks that describe why the specific property value was applied to the containing object, or the significance of the value in the context of the containing object.
Properties (6)
Description A textual label that uniquely identifies a specific attribute, characteristic, or quality of the property's containing object.
Constraint (1)
allowed value
The value may be locally defined, or the following:
- marking: A label or descriptor that is tied to a sensitivity or classification marking system. An optional class can be used to define the specific marking system used for the associated value.
Description A machine-oriented, globally unique identifier with cross-instance scope that can be used to reference this defined property elsewhere in this or other OSCAL instances. This UUID should be assigned per-subject, which means it should be consistently used to identify the same subject across revisions of the document.
Description A namespace qualifying the property's name. This allows different organizations to associate distinct semantics with the same name.
Remarks
Provides a means to segment the value space for the name, so that different organizations and individuals can assert control over the allowed
names and associated values used in a property. This allows the semantics associated
with a given name/value pair to be defined on an organization-by-organization basis.
An organization MUST use a URI that they have control over. e.g., a domain registered to the organization in a URI, a registered uniform resource names (URN) namespace.

Description A textual label that provides a sub-type or characterization of the property's name. This can be used to further distinguish or discriminate between the semantics of
multiple properties of the same object with the same name and ns.
Remarks
A class can be used in validation rules to express extra constraints over named items of
a specific class value.
Description Additional commentary on the containing object.
Description A document identifier qualified by an identifier scheme. A document identifier provides a globally unique identifier with a cross-instance scope that is used for a group of documents that are to be treated as different versions
of the same document. If this element does not appear, or if the value of this element
is empty, the value of "document-id" is equal to the value of the "uuid" flag of the
top-level root element.
Remarks
This element is optional, but it will always have a valid value, as if it is missing the value of "document-id" is assumed to be equal to the UUID of the root. This requirement allows for document creators to retroactively link an update to the original version, by providing a document-id on the new document that is equal to the uuid of the original document.
Properties (2)
Description Qualifies the kind of document identifier using a URI. If the scheme is not provided the value of the element will be interpreted as a string of characters.
Constraint (1)
allowed value
The value may be locally defined, or the following:
- https://www.doi.org/: A Digital Object Identifier (DOI); use is preferred, since this allows for retrieval of a full bibliographic record.
Description A citation consisting of end note text and optional structured bibliographic data.
Remarks
The text is used to define the endnote text, without any required bibliographic structure.
If structured bibliographic data is needed, then the biblio can be used for this purpose.
A biblio can be used to capture a structured bibliographical citation in an appropriate format.
Properties (3)
Description A line of citation text.
Description An attribute, characteristic, or quality of the containing object expressed as a namespace qualified name/value pair. The value of a property is a simple scalar value, which may be expressed as a list of values.
Remarks

multiple properties of the same object with the same name and ns.
Remarks
A class can be used in validation rules to express extra constraints over named items of
a specific class value.
Description Additional commentary on the containing object.
Description A reference to a local or remote resource
Remarks
To provide a cryptographic hash for a remote target resource, a local reference to
a back matter resource is needed. The resource allows one or more hash values to be provided using the rlink/hash object.
The OSCAL link is a roughly based on the HTML link element.
Constraints (3)
matches for .[@rel=('reference') and starts-with(@href,'#')]/@href: the target value must match the lexical form of the 'uri-reference' data type.

Properties (4)
Description A resolvable URL reference to a resource.
Remarks
The value of the href can be an internet resource, or a local reference using a fragment e.g. #fragment
that points to a back-matter resource in the same document.
If a local reference using a fragment is used, this will be indicated by a fragment
"#" followed by an identifier which references an identified resource in the document's back-matter or another object that is within the scope of the containing OSCAL document.
If an internet resource is used, the href value will be an absolute or relative URI pointing to the location of the referenced
resource. A relative URI will be resolved relative to the location of the document
containing the link.
Description Describes the type of relationship provided by the link. This can be an indicator of the link's purpose.
Constraint (1)
allowed value
The value may be locally defined, or the following:
- reference: Reference
Description Specifies a media type as defined by the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) Media Types Registry.
Remarks
The media-type provides a hint about the content model of the referenced resource. A valid entry
from the IANA Media Types registry SHOULD be used.
Description A textual label to associate with the link, which may be used for presentation in a tool.

object
[1 to ∞]
Resource link
Description A pointer to an external resource with an optional hash for verification and change detection.
Remarks
This construct is different from link, which makes no provision for a hash or formal title.
Multiple rlink can be included for a resource. In such a case, all provided rlink items are intended to be equivalent in content, but may differ in structure. A media-type is used to identify the format of a given rlink, and can be used to differentiate
a items in a collection of rlinks. The media-type also provides a hint to the OSCAL document consumer about the structure of the resource
referenced by the rlink.
Properties (3)
Description A resolvable URI reference to a resource.
Description Specifies a media type as defined by the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) Media Types Registry.
Description A representation of a cryptographic digest generated over a resource using a specified hash algorithm.
