OSCAL Examples

This directory contains numerous OSCAL examples in XML, JSON, and YAML formats based on the latest OSCAL stable release.

These files are maintained by a Continuous Integration and Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) process that automatically converts source content into the alternate formats found in the many subdirectories of this repository. As a result, these example files should not be modified. Instead, the source of the file should be edited in the src subdirectories.

The structure and contents of the examples directory are as follows:

• examples: This directory contains sample OSCAL content organized by OSCAL model.
• nist.gov/SP800-53/rev4: This directory contains OSCAL examples of the catalog, and low, moderate, and high baselines defined by NIST Special Publication (SP) 800-53 Revision 4.
• nist.gov/SP800-53/rev5: This directory contains OSCAL examples of the catalog, and low, moderate, and high baselines defined by NIST Special Publication (SP) 800-53 Revision 5 and SP 800-53B respectively.
• src: This directory contains the source files for all the OSCAL examples located in this repository.
• build: This directory includes instructions and tools to build OSCAL dependencies, generate, convert, and check example content in this repository for release.
