Re: [cti-stix] Proposal - Change Report Object

The problem I have with the Github trackers is there is no way to vote on anything. You can log and issue and comment... that is about it. There is no way for prioritization to take place.

Does the OASIS wiki have voting support like Mediawiki? I'd really like to have some type of voting or star-type system on issues that are logged.

This has always been one of my largest gripes against Github.

The conversations can occur in the mailing lists as long as people like. However, at some point the conversations should be logged as issues in the GitHub issue trackers so that we don't lose track and let the item peter out. Anyone can open the issue, but we may want to create a more sustainable process long term.

FWIW this would potentially be overcome by the top-level relationship construct. Though, for things like indicator composition and the observable within an indicator you would probably not use that construct.

Aharon and Sean, how do you want to handle these types of discussions to work towards a decision? I know on the MITRE lists we would have these discussions and they would sometimes kind of peter out without a solid consensus. Any thoughts on how to avoid that here?

Agreed..  We need to talk through this and think about it.  We need to weigh the value of it and its complexity and impossibility to implement, versus something much easier to understand and easier to implement.   Some of the existing constructs in STIX I think need to be dropped and replaced in whole with something easier to understand and use. Composite indicators might be one of those case, but I have not spent enough time thinking about them yet.  Too focused on other areas that are hemorrhaging. 


Thanks,

Bret

In general, I favor referencing over inline. The only thing I haven't put much thought on is how I feel about requiring referencing when doing something like composite indicators.

I'm going to throw out there that we should make ALL relationships between top-level constructs reference only. That would include Report, but also things like TTPs in Indicators, etc.

I also +1 this if we are counting votes.

Subject: [cti-stix] Proposal - Change Report Object

In STIX 2.0 I would like to propose that we change the Report Object to contain just reference to the objects that it is binding. I do not want to see it contain data itself.

[soap box]
We need one way of doing things and the current data-model of STIX, while beautiful, makes writing a decision tree in code for some arbitrary data in a STIX package nearly impossible. .
[/soap box]


Thanks,

Bret
