This format represents a combination of all of the OSCAL models.
An organization MUST use a URI that they have control over. e.g., a domain registered to the organization in a URI, a registered uniform resource names (URN) namespace.
+When a ns
is not provided, its value should be assumed to be http://csrc.nist.gov/ns/oscal
and the name should be a name defined by the associated OSCAL model.
When establishing relationships, mapping SHOULD be done at the control statement level where possible. This approach allows for more use of 'equivalent-to', which represents a stronger relationship than the other relationship types.
+The value of the href
can be an internet resource, or a local reference using a fragment e.g. #fragment that points to a back-matter
+ resource
in the same document.
If a local reference using a fragment is used, this will be indicated by a fragment "#" followed by an identifier which references an identified resource
in the document's back-matter
or another object that is within the scope of the containing OSCAL document.
If an internet resource is used, the href
value will be an absolute or relative URL pointing to the location of the referenced resource. A relative URL will be resolved relative to the location of the document containing the link.
The OSCAL Control mapping format can be used to describe how a collection of security controls and related control enhancements relate to another collection of controls. The root of the Control Catalog format is mapping-collection
.
+
Back matter including references and resources.
+A mapping collection affirmatively declares the relationships that exist between sets of controls and/or control statements in a source and target. It is expected that inferences can be made based on what is mapped; however, no inferences should be made based on what is not mapped, since it is impossible to quantify how complete or granular a given mapping is.
+mapping
can be used to reference the data item locally or globally (e.g., in an imported OSCAL instance). This UUID should be assigned per-subject, which means it should be consistently used to identify the same mapping across revisions of the document.
