Re: [cti-stix] external-references keywords

FWIW, external_reference seems to have a lot of overlap with the Cybox Artifact object ( see 

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1DdS-NrVTjGJ3wvCJ7dbSlhYeiaWS6G6dOXu2F3POpUs/edit#heading=h.3py86bmi9w34 )

Could there be some unification here?

Hi everyone,
 
I think these four keywords would cover all of the external reference details.  I’ve including some examples below.  Can anyone think of some external reference that couldn’t be specified using these keywords?
 
                Rich
 
 
 
external_references: array of {
                description : string
                external_id: string
                source: ov?
                url: url
}
 
Any combination is legal
 
Examples:
 
CAPEC:
 
[ { “source”: “capec”, “external_id”: “capec-550” } ]
 
CAPEC with URL
 
[ { “source”: “capec”, “external_id”: “capec-550”, “url”:  “http://capec.mitre.org/data/definitions/550.html”} ]
 
APT1:

VERIS:
