Description: This repository will be used to propose and track changes to the
OpenC2 Language Specification as the CSD matures.
Purpose statement :
Open Command and Control (OpenC2) is a concise and extensible language to
enable
the command and control of cyber defense components, subsystems and/or
systems
in a manner that is agnostic of the underlying products, technologies,
transport
mechanisms or other aspects of the implementation. The OpenC2 Language
Specification defines the OpenC2 language and the responsibility for drafting
it
resides with the OpenC2 Language Subcommittee.

At the time of the creation of this repository, the OpenC2 Language
Specification was CSDrev01. The intent of this repository is to propose and
track incremental changes to the CSD as it matures thru several revisions.
The
intent is to use github to track issues (eg issues brought by members when
voting on CSD) and to use individual github commits for change management of
proposed changes to the CSD. Github can be used to review individual commits
(eg
changes in response to an issue or new text added as it's agreed to by the
LSC)
and then the commits can be incorporated. Tools exists to allow the creation
of
pdf/html/word documents from the github markdown text in the repo. Markdown
has
human readable raw text that is simpler and cleaner than html or the
underlying
xml in word or googledocs. It also has the advantage of creating simpler,
cleaner html that google docs or word.

The goals of the repo include:

• easier for members to review the changes to the CSD as it matures
• easier for the editors to create the pdf/html/word versions for official
  voting
• "cleaner" raw text and html
  Notes: The Language Subcommittee cochairs are proposing this as an trial for
  the
  language CSD after some experience with the glossary and some experimentation
  of
  their own.
