System Name, Abbreviation, and FedRAMP Package ID

The remainder of the system information is provided in the
system-characteristics assembly.

The FedRAMP-assigned package number is the unique ID for a FedRAMP system. OSCAL supports several system identifiers, which may be assigned by different organizations.

For this reason, OSCAL requires the identifier-type flag be present and have a value that uniquely identifies the issuing organization. FedRAMP requires its value to be "http://fedramp.gov/ns/oscal" for all FedRAMP-issued application numbers.

This assembly defines the full name of the system and its short name. A FedRAMP OSCAL SSP must define the system name and its short name.
