Abstract
Documentation:
The optional variable_value elements define the actual value(s) used during data collection of any variable referenced by the object (as well as any object referenced via a set element). An OVAL Object that includes a variable maybe have a different set of matching items depending on the value given assigned to the variable. A tool that is given an OVAL System Characteristics file in order to analyze an OVAL Definition needs to be able to determine the exact instance of an object to use based on the variable values supplied. If a variable represents an array of values, then multiple variable_value elements would exist with the same variable_id attribute.
