metaschema

Metaschema modeling language

Introduction

Metaschema framework is s an information modeling methodology. Metaschema framework is developed by NIST. An information model developed using this framework can be used to automatically:

• Generate associated XML and JSON schema
• Produce model documentation
• Create content converters capable of converting between XML and JSON formats
• Data APIs for use in application code

Golang Extension

This project extends metaschema beyond xml/json/yaml. This project allows users to generate golang code for processing those xml/json/yaml files out of NIST's metaschema.

Usage

# Acquire latest OSCAL metaschema (OSCAL is the most evolved appliacation of the metaschema)
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/usnistgov/OSCAL
# Parse metaschema and generate golang structs
./gocomply_metaschema generate ./OSCAL/src/metaschema github.com/gocomply/oscalkit types/oscal

Installation

go get -u -v github.com/gocomply/metaschema/cli/gocomply_metaschema

Projects using GoComply/metaschema

• GoComply/oscalkit - OSCAL implementation, oscalkit uses CI to re-generate models periodically from usnistgov/OSCAL
