I didn’t want to bring that up – since from both proposals I got the impression we removed that use case from Information Source in order to simplify.
Here’s the UML in 1.2 that supports that (I think!):
Where role property could be from then InformationSourceRole controlled vocab, which in 1.2 has: aggregator, content enhancer/refiner, initial author and transformer/translator

No, I was referring to a clearing house TAXII server, like an ISAC or ISAO. Say BankA produces the Indicator and ships it to FS-ISAC. Would we need or want any type of chain. If not, then that is okay. I just
wanted to ask.
Thanks,

Do you mean – how did I get this STIX thingee – via email, TAXII, UPS?
No, I’m not talking about that kind of source – I don’t know if that information is or should be captured.
No – the source of the information in the STIX thingee….

Would the delivery service, portal, or broker be in that list?

There are many different concepts of “sources” that we seem to be talking about:
· The
creator of the STIX/CybOX object
o An
individual/organization (created manually via something like Soltra Edge), probably represented by an Identity object
o Software,
that creates STIX/CybOX objects automatically – no manual input
· A similar object
from outside the STIX model (used to be external_ID in
STIX 1.2) – NOT a CTI ID
· A
reference, like in a bibliography, which might be accessible via a URL – NOT a CTI object
· An
association to another type of STIX object – like CVE (assuming we represent Vulnerability as a STIX TLO)
Did I miss anything?
The original object could be the source of a translated object, but that seem better handled separately (as discussed in the recent I18N email threat).
