Corpus Metadata

  • All notes in /Users/rico/Library/Mobile Documents/iCloud~md~obsidian/Documents/MyVault/iso27diy-corp/Corpus need metadata.
  • These metadata need to follow the obsidian-front-matter-syntax.
  • Obsidian calls metadata variables 'Properties'
  • In this Corpus we use General properties (every note should have them) and specific properties (depending on the kind of note, which can be inferred from the notetype property, see below).

General properties

Notetype

The notetype field will have one of the following values:

  • guide: guided, hands-on lessons, learning by doing, interactive lessons
  • explanation: background and context to the standards, paraphrases of the original standard texts, opinion, discussion, underlying principles, interpretation
  • application: steps to solve a specific, real-world problem. Implementing the standard in real world environments, implementation aids, implementation examples, templates, etc.
  • reference: secondary sources of information, like original standard texts, dictionaries, terms and definitions.
  • publication: for content created by TSW for publication, e.g. articles, eBooks, social media posts.
  • other: for all notes that, by there content, cannot be placed in one for the previous categories.
  • iso27diyGIS: notes that belong to the ISO27DIY Guided Implementation System (GIS).

Language

  • For the language property we use the language code as defined in ISO 639-1.

Isotags

The property isotags, of type list, allows any note to be linked to clauses and controls of the ISO 27001 / ISO 27002 standard, by the id property of the Original Standard Texts, found in Corpus/Standards/ISO27x/OST/27001/EN and /Corpus/Standards/ISO27x/OST/27002/EN, respectively.

For example, a note that needs to be linked to ISO 27001 clause 5.2 Policy, will get a value of C.5.2 added to its isotags list. Likewise, a note that needs to be linked to ISO 27002 control 5.15 Access control, will get a value of A.5.15 added to its isotags list.

Properties for ISO 27001 and 27002 Original Standard Texts

Original Standard Texts are found in Corpus/Standards/ISO27x/OST/ .

Important: the body of these notes must never be changed!

OST notes inherit the general properties, and also have the following properties:

  • status: as of yet, the only value defined for the property is active. I foresee a superseded or replaced status for later.
  • sourcetext: the standard name and version, e.g. iso27001:en:2022

The OST/27002 have specific properties deduced from chapter 4 of the standard ("Themes and Attributes"). They are:

  • theme
  • control_type
  • information_security_properties
  • cybersecurity_concepts
  • operational_capabilities
  • security_domains.

For the possible values of these properties, see themes-and-attributes-in-iso-27002.
