[ main >> JVNRSS 1.0 ]

JVNRSS is based on RDF Site Summary (RSS) 1.0 and use the field <dc:relation> of Dubline Core as index of grouping security information.
JVNRSS with the Relational ID in <dc:relation> is shown.
<item rdf:about="URL of security information"> <title>Title</title> <link>URL of security information</link> <dscription>Outline of security information</description> <dc:publisher>Product vendor name</dc:publisher> <dc:creator>Contact point information</dc:creator> <dc:identifier>Security information ID</dc:identifier> <dc:relation>Relational ID (1) {CVE|CERT-CA|CERT-VU|etc.}</dc:relation> <dc:relation>Relational ID (2) {CVE|CERT-CA|CERT-VU|etc.}</dc:relation> <dc:relation> : : </dc:relation> <dc:date>Date last updated</dc:date> <dcterms:issued>Date first published</cterms:issued> <dcterms:modified>Date last updated</dcterms:modified> </item>
JVNRSS contains a list of items, each of which is identified by a link. Each item can have any amount of metadata associated with it. The most basic metadata supported by RSS includes a title for the link and a description of it. And our proposal Relational ID allows the security information on the different sites to relate each other. The URL of major references such as Common Vulnerability Exposure (CVE), CERT Advisory (CERT-CA), CERT Vulnerability Notes (CERT-VU, US-CERT Vulnerability Notes), US-CERT Technical Alert and CIAC Bulletin are used as Relational ID. These are best reference URL for Internet security information.

Notation:
In the following element descriptions, the following notation is used:
{something}
is simply a placeholder for a URI, value, etc.?
signifies that an element or attribute is optional.+
means "one or more" instances of this element or attribute is allowed.*
means "zero or more" instances of this element or attribute is allowed.The opening RDF tag assocaties the rdf: namespace prefix with the RDF syntax schema, establishes the RSS 1.0 schema, Dublin Core and Qualified Dublin Core as the default namespace for the document.
