CWE-1000 (Research Concepts) supports research, using a fixed perspective that focuses exclusively on weaknesses and the different relationships between them. It is a novel approach to weakness classification that also has certain benefits to the CWE Content Team with respect to content management.
This paper performs a comparison between these views, as well as CWE-700, the Seven Pernicious Kingdoms view, which is based on the original paper published in 2005 [7PK].
