Description

User Story

As an OSCAL tools developer, to ensure consistency and ease of development, I would like to have only with-child-controls in the schemas (as they are currently released) and have the specification removed to exclude with parent controls from the schemas and profile resolution specification permanently.

Goals

  • Minimize burden on developers for implementing profile resolvers
  • Simplify the interfaces of profile resolution where similar syntactic constructs (based on syntax name) have dissimilar behavior

Dependencies

No response

Acceptance Criteria

  • Remove metaschema definition of with-parent-controls from OSCAL Profile model metaschema module
