Re: [cti-stix] relationships

Personally I like having everything about an object with that object. It makes it easier for a reader to understand what objects apply to it and from it.

I can see this makes it harder when generating the objects, but in my opinion we should do whatever is the easiest for the reader, as this week be read way more times than it will be written...

Can we change it so that there is a level 1 relationship section showing all the relationships, but with no real details. Then we have the relationship details with each objects details. In that way of someone wants an overview is in one place, and if they are implementing an object then the required relationships detail is right there in that section - making it easier to use.

All,

I would like to propose that we format the document a bit different, and would like to hear people's feedback..

Right now we have a few different ways of documenting relationships in the TLOs (trying to test the water to see which way is best). For example, for each TLO we have a Properties table and a Relationship table (some case we have both the source and destination relationships and in other cases we have merged them together). Further, I have heard from some of you that you would like all of the relationships in one place.

Proposal:
1) Create a new Level 1 section called Relationships
2) Move all of the relationships to this section. The tables of relationships will NO longer be associated with each TLO.
3) For each TLO, under the properties tables will include a graphic of the relationships that are applicable to that TLO. But for the details and descriptions, you would need to go to the relationships section.

What would people like more or find more useful?

Thanks,

Bret
