Docs for schema item subtestAttributes in Open Vulnerability and Assessment Language (OVAL®)

The following are the default attributes associated with every element in the defintion_object or definition_data section of a test. The optional datatype determines the type of data expected. (the default datatype is 'string') The optional operator determines how the individual test cases (the child elements) should operate. (the default operator is 'equals') Both of these attributes are optional in order to keep the XML clean and readable. The default values are used most of the time and putting datatype="string" and operator="equals" for each element would muddy up the XML. The optional var_ref attribute refers the value of the child to a variable element. The optional version attribute signifies which version of the variable was used during analysis. Different versions of a variable can be encounted if different values for the variable are used in different definition instances.
