OSCAL Inspector XSLT application

[wendellpiez]

Tracking Issue for an OSCAL Inspector XSLT application.

Producing an Inspector XSLT for OSCAL, serving a dual purpose

• Offering a conformant and (ultimately) complete implementation of Metaschema-based validation as a 2nd implementation demonstrating viability of this tech (esp vis-a-vis constraint-checking not covered by XSD for XML)
• providing OSCAL XML users with easier/better means of cross-checking their data and thus participate more directly in diagnostic/development loops

Milestones (projected)

draft - Near-complete runtime demonstrating viability
final - All of current version of OSCAL (v 1.1.2 or superseding version)

Functional and operational requirements

Stated very broadly

1. With test runtimes demonstrating Inspector-based validation of documents individually and in batch
2. Fully aligned with XSD and other XML-validating Metaschema applications (e.g. oscal-cli), with testing to show
3. Scripts to be run from the CL
4. Also to be run inside CI/CD
5. XSpec for bug diagnostics / spot checking / functional testing of OSCAL InspectorXSLT

• following XSpec deployment in metaschema-xslt repo

6. OSCAL Inspector web application

• verbose and quiet modes
• model-only or model+constraints checking
