I agree, we should make this change.
I would guess the reason version isn t required is that we wanted to be able to transport other content types, besides STIX, that might not have a version property. I m not particularly concerned about that, though could always use a placeholder.
We should optimize for STIX.

I tried to think any case where they might not be available or generated.
I couldn t think of any reasonable use case where the taxii server could not provide these, so I m supportive of the change.

Subject: [cti-taxii] Manifest Resource
All,
In looking at the Manifest Resource and its purpose, I am thinking we need to make the date added and version properties required. I believe this was an oversight in 2.0.
Currently we have the following properties
Property Name
Type
Description
id
(required)
string
The identifier of the object that this manifest entry describes. For STIX objects the
id
MUST be the STIX Object
id
. For object types that do not have their own identifier, the server
MAY use any value as the
id
.
date_added
(optional)
timestamp
The date and time this object was added.
version
(optional)
string
The version of this object.
For objects in STIX format, the STIX
modified
property is the version.
media_type
(optional)
string
The media type that this specific version of the object can be requested in. This value
MUST be one of the media types listed on the
collection
resource.
I propose that we change this to:
Property Name
Type
Description
id
(required)
string
The identifier of the object that this manifest entry describes. For STIX objects the
id
MUST be the STIX Object
id
. For object types that do not have their own identifier, the server
MAY use any value as the
id
.
date_added
(required)
timestamp
The date and time this object was added.
version
(required)
string
The version of this object.
For objects in STIX format, the STIX
modified
property is the version.
media_type
(optional)
string
The media type that this specific version of the object can be requested in. This value
MUST be one of the media types listed on the
collection
resource.
Is there anyone that would be against this change? If no, I will create a Github issue and make the change in Working Draft 04.
Bret
