org.cispec.make

recommended: any CI with an identifiable product line or brand

org.cispec.make records the product line or brand of a Change Item — the named family it belongs to within a manufacturer’s catalogue.

The three-field pattern manufacturer / make / model is standard CMDB practice for any physical CI: manufacturer is who made it, make is what product line it belongs to, model is which specific variant. A Lockheed Martin (manufacturer) F-35 (make) B variant (model). A Pfizer (manufacturer) Prevnar (make) 13 formulation (model). A Caterpillar (manufacturer) 797 (make) F variant (model). A Cisco Systems (manufacturer) Catalyst (make) 9300-48P (model).

make is distinct from manufacturer — the same manufacturer produces multiple makes. It is distinct from model — the same make has multiple models. All three are needed for unambiguous identification, patch applicability, EOL tracking, and maintenance manual lookup.

Value format

The product line or brand name as the manufacturer uses it.

org.cispec.make=F-35
org.cispec.make=Prevnar
org.cispec.make=797
org.cispec.make=Catalyst
org.cispec.make=SIMATIC-S7

Conformance

org.cispec.make is RECOMMENDED for any CI with an identifiable product line. It is not REQUIRED for Declared conformance.

Attestation

make is independently attestable against the manufacturer’s product catalogue, regulatory filings, or procurement documentation.

Resolution and relation

Every Change Item sharing the same make value (scoped within the same manufacturer) forms an edge in the namespace’s knowledge graph — “every F-35” is a real, expected query for fleet-wide advisory response, lifecycle planning, and supply chain tracking.
