Documentation:
The EntityObjectBaseType complex type is an abstract type that extends the EntityBaseType and is used by the entities within an OVAL Objects. If the entity uses a var_ref and the associated variable defines more than one values, the optional var_check attribute defines how the data collection should proceed. For example, if an object entity 'filename' with an operation of 'does not equal' references a variable that returns five different values, and the var_check attribute has a value of 'all', then an actual file on the system matches only if the actual filename does not equal any of the variable values. If a variable does not return any value, then an error should be thrown during OVAL analysis.
