I agree that changing the word observation to observed data would help clarify the difference between it and sighting.

Subject: RE: [cti-stix] Observation Rename
I think we should be able to highlight that fact through documentation well enough. I think restructuring the document is a great idea and will go a long way towards fixing that.

I know it sounds clunky, but I suggest
sighting-relationship
That should make it even clearer that it is a distinct concept.
Do we have any objections to renaming "Observation" to "Observed Data". And most importantly, Sarah et all, will this help with the distinction problems????

I could go with that... Kind of help us get to the fact that this is the raw data.

"Without cryptography vihv vivc ce xhrnrw, however, the only thing that can not be unscrambled is an egg."
On the call today, we talked about some of the confusion around the object of data called "Observation" and the relationship used to link an Observation with other stuff called "Sighting". There seems to be a lot of confusion with these terms (due to their
overlap) and it makes it hard to explain.... This is obviously a sign of something we need to fix.
One option we talked about was just renaming one or both of the objects.... What if we renamed "Observation" to "Observation Data" or something similar? Would it then be more clear that this object just contains data or facts?
Other options, since this object can only support CybOX is we call it "CybOX Data". The term "Cyber Data" was shot down on the call.
Thoughts???? Other options????
