The OSCAL project maintains a variety of resources to learn and use OSCAL.

Learn

Concepts

The concepts section contains detailed information about the organization of OSCAL models, processing specifications, and explanations of important primitives (i.e. identifiers) underlying OSCAL data elements.

Reference

The reference section contains the full details of all OSCAL models for development snapshots and all published releases, with visualizations of models in outline form, reference documentation for individual elements, and indices for the location of all elements across all models.

Use

Downloads

The downloads page has links and instructions to download releases and development snapshots of the OSCAL data models.

Examples

The examples page has links and information to examples of OSCAL content in the official NIST repositories.

Tools

The tools page has information about NIST's reference implementations of software and reusable libraries. Additionally, there are links to community-maintained lists of software and information about OSCAL-enabled tools.
