Re: [cti-stix] field names

[Allan Thomson <athomson@lookingglasscyber.com>]

I would prefer consistency as Bret suggests but I would also suggest that all terms should be in the same tense.

Start / End are not the same as creat-ED and modif-ED are.

So they should be start-ED and end-ED.

Started
Ended
Published
Created
Modified

I would like the names to stay the same as they are. I think that start and end are very clear and describe their purpose well. I believe that clarity should win over consistency in this case, as those field names are very obvious to anyone consuming or producing the STIX.

In the following TLOs we have defined the following timestamp fields

In Observations we have "start" and "end"
In Report we have "published"
In Indicator we have "start" an "end"

In the TLO Common Properties we have 2 fields:
"created_time"
"modified_time"

I am guessing  we should probably have some consistency...  Perhaps we should change the TLO Common Properties fields to be just "created" and "modified"

Thanks,

Bret
