Definition Type: ComplexType
Name: CriteriaType
Namespace: http://oval.mitre.org/XMLSchema/oval-definitions-5
Containing Schema: oval-definitions-schema.xsd
Abstract
Documentation:
The CriteriaType complex type describes the high level container for all the tests and represents the meat of the definition. Each criteria can contain other criteria elements in a recursive structure allowing complex logical trees to be constructed. Each referenced test is represented by a criterion element. Please refer to the description of the CriterionType for more information about and individual criterion element. The optional extend_definition element allows existing definitions to be included in the criteria. Refer to the description of the ExtendDefinitionType for more information. The required operator attribute provides the logical operator that binds the different statements inside a criteria together. The optional negate attribute signifies that the result of the criteria as a whole should be negated during analysis. For example, consider a criteria that evaluates to TRUE if a certain software is installed. By negating this test, it now evaluates to TRUE if the software is NOT installed. The optional comment attribute provides a short description of the criteria.
