Annotations
The STIX_Package field contains a bundle of information characterized in the Structured Threat Information eXpression (STIX) language.
Specifies a globally unique identifier of a STIX Package specified elsewhere.
When idref is specified, the id attribute must not be specified, and any instance of this STIX Package should not hold content.
DEPRECATED: This field is deprecated and will be removed in the next major version of STIX. Its use is strongly discouraged except for legacy applications.
Specifies a timestamp for the definition of a specific version of a STIX Package. When used in conjunction with the id, this field is specifying the definition time for the specific version of the STIX Package. When used in conjunction with the idref, this field is specifying a reference to a specific version of a STIX Package defined elsewhere. This field has no defined semantic meaning if used in the absence of either the id or idref fields.
DEPRECATED: This field is deprecated and will be removed in the next major version of STIX. Its use is strongly discouraged except for legacy applications.
Specifies the relevant STIX schema version for this content.

The Package_Intent field characterizes the intended purpose(s) or use(s) for this package of STIX content.
This field is implemented through the xsi:type controlled vocabulary extension mechanism. The default vocabulary type is PackageIntentVocab-1.0 in the http://stix.mitre.org/default_vocabularies-1 namespace. This type is defined in the stix_default_vocabularies.xsd file or at the URL http://stix.mitre.org/XMLSchema/default_vocabularies/1.2.0/stix_default_vocabularies.xsd.
Users may also define their own vocabulary using the type extension mechanism, specify a vocabulary name and reference using the attributes, or simply use this as a string field.
DEPRECATED: This field is deprecated and will be removed in the next major version of STIX. Its use is strongly discouraged except for legacy applications.
The vocab_reference field specifies the URI to the location of where the controlled vocabulary is defined, e.g., in an externally located XML schema file.

The Description field provides a description of this package of STIX content.
DEPRECATED: This field is deprecated and will be removed in the next major version of STIX. Its use is strongly discouraged except for legacy applications.
Specifies the intended order position of this construct instance (e.g. Description) within a set of potentially multiple peer construct instances. If only a single construct instance is present its ordinality can be assumed to be 1. If multiple construct instances are present, the ordinality field should be specified with unique values for each instance.
Used to indicate a particular structuring format (e.g., HTML5) used within an instance of StructuredTextType. Note that if the markup tags used by this format would be interpreted as XML information (such as the bracket-based tags of HTML) the text area should be enclosed in a CDATA section to prevent the markup from interferring with XML validation of the STIX document. If this attribute is absent, the implication is that no markup is being used.

Indicates how multiple related items should be interpreted in this relationship. If "inclusive" is specified, then a single conceptual relationship is being defined between the subject and the collection of objects indicated by the related items (i.e. the relationship is not necessarily relevant for any one particular object being referenced, but for the aggregated collection of objects referenced). If "exclusive" is specified, then multiple relationships are being defined between the specific subject and each object individually.
