And we should carefully go through the workflows for these to make sure they do in fact work as we think we need them to work.

RE: CybOX being optional…the thought was that you might want to say you saw something (e.g. an indicator) 150 times without providing detailed CybOX for what you had actually seen. It was mainly for the sighting use case vs. the observation w/o sighting use case.I’ve noticed that our design approach for Observation/Sighting makes things consistent across like 4 different use cases, but the tradeoff is that when you look at it for any single one of those use cases it might appear to have some extra fields or weird features. IMO it’s probably a good thing (they all seem like important use cases) but it does mean we need to explain how it should work very well in documentation.JohnOn 6/30/16, 3:52 AM, "Trey Darley" <> wrote:On 29.06.2016 15:25:59, Wunder, John A. wrote:Observation: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1F1c05GgYaJFV1Z04B8c_T3vEE-LRQTPExF24LvOQAsk/edit#heading=h.b2frlbuolfjPlease remind me why the `cybox` field is optional on a STIXObservation.

We may do away withthe CybOX Container (née ArgleBargle) altogether but we should stilldefine in CybOX what are the allowable top-level keys inside of a STIXObservation's `cybox` field; currently this would be: * `objects` => array of type cybox-object (optional) * `actions` => array of type cybox-action (optional)Does everyone agree that what is allowable inside the STIXObservation's `cybox` field gets defined over in CybOX land?-- Cheers,Trey++--------------------------------------------------------------------------++Kingfisher Operations, sprlgpg fingerprint: 85F3 5F54 4A2A B4CD 33C4 5B9B B30D DD6E 62C8 6C1D++--------------------------------------------------------------------------++--"It is easier to move a problem around (for example, by moving theproblem to a different part of the overall network architecture) thanit is to solve it." --RFC 1925
