Re: [EXT] Re: [cti] Sightings of Observables with Descriptions
Hi Jeff,

 

Perhaps you could give a few more details about your "weirdness".

 

Was this a new type of SCO, or one of the ones from the spec â but you just wanted to represent more information?

I assume âdescriptions descriptionsâ is a typo, and not something I donât understand?

As Jane says â why not just use an extension?

If either adding a new property or a whole new SCO â does the property name have to be âdescriptionâ?

The idea behind a sighting isnât that you observed an SCO (thatâs what Observed Data is for),   Itâs that you are making an inference that you have âsightedâ

a more abstract CTI object, usually an indicator, but a campaign or threat actor, for instance.

    Did you see the Hybrid Extension Example on Page 206 of the STIX2.1 CS02

    version?  It sounds like something like this might be a good way to

    shorten the chain that you describe here.
