1 Definition
GNSS Object is a Data Type comprising:
- GNSS Data from a Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) obtained from an integration of a constellation of satellites that transmit position and timing data to GNSS receivers and enable them to determine the receivers’ location.
- GNSS Data Qualifier specified by MPAI-TFA providing information on Sub-Types, Formats, and Attributes.
2 Functional Requirements
GNSS Data can come from four GNSSs – GPS (US), GLONASS (RU), Galileo (EU), BeiDou (CN) – and two regional systems – QZSS (Japan) and IRNSS or NavIC (India). Accuracy of the Position obtained from GNSS Data depends on the GNSS system used.

4 Semantics
| Header | GNSS Object Header – Standard “CAV‑GNO‑Vx.y”. |
| MInstanceID | Identifier of the M-Instance (Virtual Space) associated with this GNSS Object. |
| UEnvironmentID | Identifier of the U-Environment (Real Space) associated with this GNSS Object. |
| GNSSObjectID | Unique identifier of this GNSS Object instance. |
| GNSSObjectTime | Time this GNSS Object was produced. |
| GNSSObjectSpaceTime | Space/Time where/when this GNSS Object applies. |
| GNSSData[] | GNSS Data from a Global Navigation Satellite System receiver. Each item provides the data as inline content, a URI reference, or an external ID. |
| GNSSDataQualifier | Qualifier providing information on Sub-Types, Formats, and Attributes of GNSS Data. |
| DataXMData | MPAI-PTF Data Exchange Metadata providing provenance, authorisation, legal, security, and confidence information associated with this GNSS Object in a trusted data exchange context. |
| DescrMetadata | Human-readable descriptive metadata of the GNSS Object (plain text, max 2048 characters). |
5 Conformance Testing
A Data instance conforms with GNSS Object (CAV‑GNO) if:
- The Data validates against the GNSS Object’s JSON Schema.
- All Data in the GNSS Object’s JSON Schema:
- Have the specified type.
- Validate against their JSON Schemas.
- Conform with their Data Qualifiers.
