NIST is putting the finishing touches on an improved import capability
for the Official CPE Dictionary which should allow more frequent
updates to the Official CPE Dictionary. One thing that I think will
help grow the dictionary is if the different vendors that support CPE
submit names for their products. This shouldn't take very long and I
have attached a template to make the process easier. Even if you don't
add all your products, just getting some (especially those that deal
with CPE) would be a great start.
A listing of vendor:product:version along with the English title you
want the product known by would be great!
If this is something you can do, please send the final XML file to
[hidden email] so we can coordinate getting these names in the
dictionary. Also, please let me know if you have any questions.
Thanks
Drew
