User Story:

Responding to usnistgov/OSCAL#534 we implemented a simple profile link checker that reports when profiles call controls that can't be found in an imported catalog. It doesn't work on profiles importing profiles but it is better than nothing for detecting simple pointer errors.

The Schematron is in this branch: https://github.com/wendellpiez/OSCAL/tree/Issue534-profile-validation. The PR is usnistgov/OSCAL#539.

Goals:

Help ensure profiles committed to the repo are correct.

This Schematron can also be the basis for other checks to be run on profiles.

Dependencies:

• fixing build breaking from JSON Schema Generation Yields Undesired Allowed Values metaschema#240 and updated submodule commit when Bump actions/upload-artifact from 3.1.3 to 4.3.0 #240 has been merged into OSCAL.
