This schema was originally developed by The MITRE Corporation. The STIX XML Schema implementation is maintained by The MITRE Corporation and developed by the open STIX Community.

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.

The Identity field is optional and specifies the identity of the information source.
This field is implemented through the xsi:type extension mechanism. The default type is CIQIdentity3.0InstanceType in the http://stix.mitre.org/extensions/Identity#CIQIdentity3.0-1 namespace. This type is defined in the extensions/identity/ciq_identity.xsd file or at the URL http://stix.mitre.org/XMLSchema/extensions/identity/ciq_identity/1.1.1/ciq_identity.xsd.
Those who wish to express a simple name may also do so by not specifying an xsi:type and using the Name field.
Specifies a reference to a unique ID defined elsewhere.
When idref is specified, the id attribute must not be specified, and any instance of this Identity should not hold content.

The KillChainPhaseReferenceType is used to reference kill chains that are defined elsewhere.
This type extends from stixCommon:KillChainPhaseType and contains several attributes that are redundant to the original kill chain definition: @kill_chain_name, @ordinality, and @name. These attributes should not be used to redefine attributes in the referenced kill chain. Instead, it is strongly suggested that they either be omitted or, if they are present, they must contain the same values as the kill chain definition. This ensures data consistency across the kill chain itself and all references to it.
This field specifies the descriptive name of the relevant kill chain. If a kill chain is being referenced (via the kill_chain_id field), this field should be omitted or, if present, must match the kill chain name of the kill chain referenced by the @kill_chain_id attribute.
