Re: [cti-stix] Asset: the missing piece in your puzzle
ExploitTarget only represents where the "pointy end" of the stick is pointed (attack surface/vulnerability), not the organization or assets behind same.  Some of us share the view that there needs to be a top level object that represents the Victim(s)
 and their Assets.

Wouldn't an asset just be linked using the already existing facility of @idref on ExploitTarget?

Not sure something new needs to be created...

If you don't properly manage your Assets in cybersecurity: you will FAIL. 

Information obtained from the data that you will manipulate and 

exchange need to be linked to your Assets, the Assets of others 

(Supply Chain or Adversaries). 

So -again-, I invite you to look at 
http://scap.nist.gov/specifications/ai/ 

NB: While not perfect, and I can comment further with pleasure on 

where/why, the Asset concept/construct or relationships (i.e. through 

GUIDs) is, imho, NEEDED. 

PS: I will try to put effort on documenting where the current model(s) 

are currently weak regarding this domain
