It has the following parts: - name, a URI, which must be a unique key, and should follow the URI structure outlined in the CPE Specification. - title, arbitrary friendly name - notes, optional descriptive material - references, optional external info references - check, optional reference to an OVAL test that can confirm or reject an IT system as an instance of the named platform. Type for an reference in the description of a CPE item. This would normally be used to point to extra descriptive material, or the supplier's web site, or the platform documentation. It consists of a piece of text (intended to be human-readable) and a URI (intended to be a URL, and point to a real resource). Data type for the check element, a checking system specification URI, string content, and an optional external file reference. The checking system specification should be the URI for a particular version of OVAL or a related system testing language, and the content will be an identifier of a test written in that language. The external file reference could be used to point to the file in which the content test identifier is defined. This type allows the xml:lang attribute to associate a specific language with an element's string content. Define the format for acceptable CPE Names. An urn format is used with the id starting with the word oval followed by a unique string, followed by the three letter code 'def', and ending with an integer.
