This type represents the STIX Course of Action component. It is extended using the XML Schema Extension feature by the STIX Course of Action type itself. Users of this type who wish to express a full course of action using STIX must do so using the xsi:type extension feature. The STIX-defined Course of Action type is CourseOfActionType in the http://stix.mitre.org/CourseOfAction-1 namespace. This type is defined in the course_of_action.xsd file or at the URL http://stix.mitre.org/XMLSchema/course_of_action/1.1.1/course_of_action.xsd.
Alternatively, uses that require simply specifying an idref as a reference to a course of action defined elsewhere can do so without specifying an xsi:type.
| Field Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| @idoptional | QName |
Specifies a globally unique identifier for this COA. |
| @idrefoptional | QName |
Specifies a globally unique identifier of a COA specified elsewhere. When idref is specified, the id attribute must not be specified, and any instance of this COA should not hold content. |
| @timestampoptional | dateTime |
Specifies a timestamp for the definition of a specific version of a COA. When used in conjunction with the id, this field is specifying the definition time for the specific version of the COA. When used in conjunction with the idref, this field is specifying a reference to a specific version of a COA defined elsewhere. This field has no defined semantic meaning if used in the absence of either the id or idref fields. |
