-## Extending the Schema
-
-Extensions are additional categories, event classes, attributes, objects or profiles. The Open
-Cybersecurity Schema Framework can be extended by adding new attributes, objects, categories
-and event classes. A schema is the aggregation of core schema entities and extensions.
-Extensions allow a particular vendor or customer to create a new schema or augment an existing
-schema. Extensions can also be used to factor out non-essential schema domains keeping a
-schema small. Extensions use the framework in the same way as a new schema, optionally
-creating categories, profiles or event classes from the dictionary. Extensions can add new
-attributes to the dictionary, including new objects. As with categories, event classes and profiles,
-extensions have unique IDs within the framework as well as versioning.
-
-To extend the schema, create a new directory with same structure the top level schema directory. 
-The directory may contain the following optional files and subdirectories.
-
-| Name              | Description                                                               |
-|-------------------|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
-| `categories.json` | Create it to define new categories. Note, to avoid collisions with the categories defined in the core schema, the category IDs must be greater than or equal to 30. |
-| `dictionary.json` | Create it to define new attributes.                                       |
-| `enums`           | Create it to define new enumerations.                                     |
-| `events`          | Create it to define new event classes.                                    |
-| `includes`        | Create it to define new shared data.                                      |
-| `objects`         | Create it to define new objects.                                          |
