3 I/O Data
Table 1 specifies the Input and Output Data of the Audio Object Acquisition (CAE-AOA) AIM.
| Input | Description |
| User Command | Instruction directing the operation of the CAE-AOA AIM. |
| Sensor Output | May be an Audio Object or Audio Data without Qualifier. |
| Audio Object | An Audio Object from a Storage Device, e.g., the Repository. |

8 Conformance Testing
Table 2 provides the Conformance Testing Method for the Audio Object Acquisition (CAE-AOA) 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.
| Receives | User Command | Shall validate against User Command schema. |
| Sensor Output | Shall validate against Audio Object schema. | |
| Audio Object | Shall validate against Audio Object schema. | |
| Produces | Audio Object | Shall validate against Audio Object schema. |
