<oval_repository> element

[Prasad Shenoy]

Hello ODL,

 

I could not find a mapping for <oval_repository> element anywhere in the schemata. I am using windows-xp definition. I looked through the post archives to see if this has been discussed in the past. Can someone please enlighten me as to the purpose, binding and bounds for this element (as part of <definition>)?

 

Thanks in advance!

Prasad,

 

In the OVAL Repository we use the <oval_repository> element to track status and submission data for each definition. You can learn more about the content of this element in the submission guidelines.

Here is a direct link to the schema that specifies the structure of the <oval_repository> element.

Note that this element is not defined in the OVAL Language and is simply an extension the we use in the OVAL Repository.  If you are reviewing the OVAL Repository you may also be interested in the OVAL Repository Authoring style guide.

Finally, I have sent this reply to the oval-discussion-list because that list is used for discussing the contents of the OVAL Repository. The oval-developer-list is intended for questions about the OVAL Language, implementing support for the language, and other developer related issues.

 

Regards,

 

Jon
