Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. The GUI must be able to handle the complete set of files associated with each OSCAL MS Release and future release. It should handle any known OSCAL version on a file-by-file basis.

Describe the solution you'd like The tool needs to be "aware" of releases as NIST publishes them. The tool must "know" where the files are for each release. The tool must cache local copies of these files, and periodically ensure the cached copies are up-to-date. The files for each version must include:

  • syntax validation
  • format conversion
  • related processing (such as profile resolution)

Describe alternatives you've considered It currently only handles one version, which is intended to be the latest as it appears in the OSCAL master repo. When the GUI was first developed this was fine. Now that there are multiple OSCAL versions (and a requirement to handle OSCAL versions), this approach is no longer sufficient. No other alternatives have been considered.
