STIXType defines a bundle of information characterized in the Structured Threat Information eXpression (STIX) language.
As of STIX 1.2, the contextual fields in STIX_Header have been deprecated. If you want to give context to set of STIX content you should use a Report. The Information_Source field is still available and should be used to indicate the source of content that’s included in the report (in other words, it’s equivalent to setting the Information_Source in each individual construct).
| Field Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| @idoptional | QName |
Specifies a globally unique identifier for this STIX Package. |
| @idrefoptional | QName |
Specifies a globally unique identifier of a STIX Package specified elsewhere. When idref is specified, the id attribute must not be specified, and any instance of this STIX Package should not hold content. DEPRECATED: This field is deprecated and will be removed in the next major version of STIX. Its use is strongly discouraged except for legacy applications. |
| @timestampoptional | dateTime |
Specifies a timestamp for the definition of a specific version of a STIX Package. When used in conjunction with the id, this field is specifying the definition time for the specific version of the STIX Package. When used in conjunction with the idref, this field is specifying a reference to a specific version of a STIX Package defined elsewhere. This field has no defined semantic meaning if used in the absence of either the id or idref fields. DEPRECATED: This field is deprecated and will be removed in the next major version of STIX. Its use is strongly discouraged except for legacy applications. |
| @versionoptional | STIXPackageVersionEnum |
Specifies the relevant STIX schema version for this content. |
