1 Functions
Audio Basic Scene Description (CAE-ABS):
| Receives | Space-Time | The Space-Time of the Audio Basic Scene. |
| Audio Object | A generic input Audio Object. | |
| Produces | Audio Basic Scene Descriptors | The Descriptors of the Audio Basic Scene. |
CAE-ABS can describe an Audio Scene only in terms of its composing Audio Objects. See CAE-ASD

8 Conformance Testing
Table 2 provides the Conformance Testing Method for the CAE-ABS AIM as a Basic AIM. Conformance Testing of the individual AIMs of the CAE-ABS Composite AIM are given by the individual AIM Specification.
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 CAE-ABS AIM
| Receives | Space-Time | Shall validate against Space-Time schema. |
| Audio Object | Shall validate against Audio Object schema. Audio Data shall conform with Audio Qualifier. |
|
| Produces | Audio Basic Scene Descriptors | Shall validate against Audio Basic Scene Descriptors schema. |
