Abstract

The National Online Informative References (OLIR) Program is a NIST effort to facilitate subject matter experts in defining standardized Online Informative References (OLIRs), which are relationships between elements of their documents and elements of other documents like the NIST Cybersecurity Framework, NIST Privacy Framework, and Special Publication 800-53. This document assists Informative Reference Developers (Developers) in understanding the processes and requirements for participating in the Program. The primary focus of the document is to instruct Developers on how to complete the OLIR Template spreadsheet when submitting an Informative Reference to NIST for inclusion in the OLIR Catalog. This document replaces Interagency or Internal Report (IR) 8204, Cybersecurity Framework Online Informative References (OLIR) Submissions: Specification for Completing the OLIR Template.
