8 Conformance Testing
Table 2 provides the Conformance Testing Method for OSD-MED AIM.
If a schema contains references to other schemas, conformance of data for the primary schema implies that any data referencing a secondary schema shall also validate against the relevant schema, if present and conform with the Qualifier, if present.
Table 2 – Conformance Testing Method for OSD-MED AIM
| Receives | Basic Multimodal Scene Descriptors (OSD-BMS) or Multimodal Scene Descriptors (OSD-MSD) | Shall validate against the schema of the Data Type. |
| Produces | Multimodal Event Descriptors (OSD-MEV) | Shall validate against the schema of the Data Type. |
