Re: [cti-stix] Use cases....

["Barnum, Sean D." <sbarnum@mitre.org>]

Hi Christian,

I apologize for the delayed response. Fighting fires as usual.

You are correct that many of the use cases have been identified but not fleshed out.
Most of these use cases were implicitly identified and understood as part of the development of STIX over the last few years but were never explicitly codified in an official way. As you can imagine capturing them all now after the fact is a significant amount of work especially for areas where the community may not have 100% consensus agreement. 
Given the amount of effort required and the desire of the community to continue to make progress on known issues with the language and not take a long pause to get all of the use cases perfect it was decided that we would flesh out use cases as rapidly as we could while still moving forward. For specific issues we are discussing we will attempt to ensure the relevant use cases are fleshed out.
The reality is that doing this fleshing out of use cases is not the job of any particular people and will require all of use to contribute our thoughts and time in working on them. The wiki pages for the use cases are all open for folks to actively contribute. The more time we can get from the community to contribute this way the faster we can get them all fleshed out. 
If this is something you feel passionate/knowledgeable about and are willing to put some time into it we would love to have you involved.

Similarly, if you have specific recommendations for what sort of information you feel is important please feel free to suggest it.
It may be a good idea to pick a particular use case and any specific suggested additions or adornments you would like to propose and then point us to it as an example. That way we can all talk about it and decide if it is something that would be beneficial across the set of use cases.

Thank you for your input and we look forward to further discussing this with you.

sean
