 +
 +===== Discussion =====
 +
 +Baseline Selection chooses an identified [[public:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:b:baseline|Baseline]] Revision for application to a specified subject, activity, or context.
 +
 +The selection may depend on:
 +
 +  * The subject being governed
 +  * The target [[public:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:i:infrastructure_environment|Infrastructure Environment]]
 +  * The deployment purpose
 +  * The implementation platform
 +  * Security classification
 +  * Applicable policy
 +  * Applicable jurisdiction
 +  * Delivery phase
 +  * Operational state
 +  * Effective date
 +  * Approval status
 +  * Compatibility constraints
 +
 +Baseline Selection may choose:
 +
 +  * An Infrastructure Baseline
 +  * A Security Baseline
 +  * A Deployment Baseline
 +  * A Machine Image Baseline
 +  * A Compliance Baseline
 +  * A composition of multiple Baselines
 +
 +Baseline Selection differs from [[public:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:b:baseline_approval|Baseline Approval]]:
 +
 +  * Baseline Approval authorizes a Baseline Revision for a defined use
 +  * Baseline Selection chooses the approved or otherwise applicable Baseline Revision for a particular context
 +
 +Baseline Selection also differs from Baseline Composition:
 +
 +  * Baseline Selection chooses one or more applicable Baselines
 +  * Baseline Composition combines selected Baseline content according to defined composition rules

 +
 +===== Note =====
 +
 +Baseline Selection should identify:
 +
 +  * The selected Baseline
 +  * The selected Revision
 +  * The subject or activity to which it applies
 +  * The selection criteria
 +  * The effective context
 +  * The selecting actor or process
 +
 +Selection of a Baseline does not by itself establish that the Baseline is approved or that the subject conforms to it.
 +
 +Applicable requirements determine whether only approved Baselines may be selected.
 +
 +===== Example =====
 +
 +A deployment workflow selects the approved production Security Baseline Revision applicable to the target operating system and security classification.
