OWASP Open Source Intelligence Standard
An open, vendor-neutral standard for verifying open-source intelligence. OOVS v0.1.0 defines ten testable requirements published simultaneously as normative text and machine-readable data, with one acceptance test per requirement, a portable assessment schema, and continuous validation.
Start with CONTRIBUTING.md and GOVERNANCE.md in the repository.
Open roles listed in MAINTAINERS.md: requirement and testability maintainer, safety and rights reviewer, schema and validation maintainer, release manager, accessibility reviewer, and translation or regional coordinators.
Normative changes follow a public proposal with a comment window and review by people independent of the proposal author. Every requirement must ship with evidence expectations, an assessment procedure, pass criteria, and failure conditions.

Project leader for the OWASP Open Source Intelligence Standard. Designed the OOVS assurance baseline and the specification-as-code pipeline that keeps its normative text, machine-readable requirements, acceptance tests, and hash-pinned release manifests provably consistent in continuous integration. Interests: OSINT verification, provenance and source-origin independence, attribution, and accountable use of AI in analytic workflows.
