Element pubs:Note

Namespace | urn:us:gov:ic:pubs
Annotations | When used in a document body, this element indicates a comment or explanation, as on a passage of text. This same element, when nested in a NoteList, may also be used to specify any types of Notice that might be required. To categorize a Notice that is not relevant to security, the @noteType attribute should be used. A Note that uses the ISM notice attributes is claiming to be a Notice of some relevance to security. It may be a particular type of ISM-recognized notice or an unregistered, but still security-related, notice. While possible, it is not the intent to use Note recursively and this should be avoided.

Attributes |
QName | Type | Use | Annotation
--- | --- | --- | ---
COIProtectionLevel | pubs:COIProtectionLevelType | optional | IC Community of Interest server access control level
IDReference | xsd:IDREFS | optional | A cross-reference to a unique identifier used to point from one element to one or more other elements. The value of the attribute must be one or more XML unique identifiers that are the value(s) of id attribute(s) elsewhere in the document.
SchemaguideSecurityAttributesOptionGroup | xsd:NMTOKEN | optional | This attribute is only a placeholder so that all the ISM attributes are not shown in the schemaGuide for every element. If you refer to the documentation of the attribute group it will say what attributes should be here.
externalNotice | xsd:boolean | optional | An indicator that an element contains a security-related notice for information NOT contained in document This flag allows for a notice to exist in a document without the data that would normally require the notice. For example, a document could contain a FISA notice without FISA data present. Source citations are a common use case for this attribute.
id | xsd:ID | optional | A unique XML identifier used to assign an XML unique identifier to an element, such as a paragraph, note or table.
noteType | xsd:string | optional | Indicates the reason for the inclusion of the notice and/or the category to which the notice belongs. Note: This attribute is used to categorize non-security-related notices.
noticeDate | xsd:date | optional | A date associated with a notice (for example, the DoD Distribution notice date)
noticeProseID | ismnoticeprose:CVEnumISMNoticeProse | optional | An indicator that can be used to identify a security-related notice in an out-of-band fashion without actually having the notice text in the record but rather a notice text prose identifier. This prose identifier maps to the notice text which is stored in a CVE. The permissible values for this attribute are defined in the ISM Notice Prose CVE: CVEnumISMNoticeProse.xml
noticeReason | restriction of xsd:string | optional | A reason associated with a notice (for example, the DoD Distribution reason)
noticeType | ismnotice:CVEnumISMNotice | optional | An indicator that the containing element contains a security-related notice. This attribute is used to categorize which of the required notices is specified in the element. These categories include those described in the Intelligence Community Markings System Register and Manual, as well as additional well-defined and formally recognized security notice types described in other directives, such as US-Person and DoD Distribution. The element could contain any structure that the implementing schema defines, and rendering details are relegated to the implementing schema. The permissible values for this attribute are defined in the ISM Notice CVE: CVEnumISMNotice.xml
pocType | ismpoctype:CVEnumISMPocType | optional | Indicates that the element specifies a point-of-contact (POC) and the methods with which to contact that individual. As certain POCs are required for different reasons (ICD-710 compliance, DoD Distribution statements, etc), the values for this attribute specify the reason(s) why the POC is provided.
qualifier | xsd:string | optional | A user-defined property within an element for general purpose processing used with block objects to provide supplemental information over and above that conveyed by the element name. This attribute is analogous to HTML's "class" attribute.
styleType | xsd:string | optional | A user-defined property within an element for representing the formatting/style to be applied.
unregisteredNoticeType | restriction of xsd:string | optional | A notice that is of a category that is not described in the Intelligence Community Markings System Register and Manual and/or is not sufficiently defined to be represented in the Controlled Value Enumeration CVEnumISMNotice.xml. This attribute can be used by specifications that import ISM to represent a wider variety of security-related notices.
