ContentHistoryType
Schema path: ContentHistoryType
The ContentHistoryType complex type provides elements to keep track of the original author of an entry and any subsequent modifications to the content. The required Submission element is used to identify the submitter and/or their organization, the date on which the submission was made, the CWE version and release date in which the new CWE entry was added, and any optional comments related to an entry. The optional Modification element is used to identify a modifier's name, organization, the date on which the Modification was made or suggested, the CWE version and release date in which the modification first appeared, and any related comments. A new Modification element should exist for each change made to the content. Modifications that change the meaning of the entry, or how it might be interpreted, should be marked with an importance of critical to bring it to the attention of anyone previously dependent on the weakness. The optional Contribution element is used to identify a contributor's name, organization, the date, the CWE version and release date in which the contribution first appeared, and any related comments. This element has a single Type attribute, which indicates whether the contribution was part of general feedback given or actual content that was donated. The optional Previous_Entry_Name element is used to describe a previous name that was used for the entry. This should be filled out whenever a substantive name change occurs. The required Date attribute lists the date on which this name was no longer used, typically the date of the first CWE release that changed the previous name. A Previous_Entry_Name element should align with a corresponding Modification element.
