1 Definition
A Data Type including a collection of Basic Audio Objects.
An Audio Object can have a hierarchical structure where Audio Objects contain Basic Audio Objects and Audio Objects.
2 Functional Requirements
An Audio Object may include:
- ID of a Virtual Space (M-Instance) where it is or intended to be located.
- ID of the Audio Object.
- Space-Time information of the Audio Object.
- Basic Audio Object and Audio Objects included in the Audio Objects.
- Annotation data set including:
- Annotations
- Space-Times of the Annotations.
- Rights to perform Actions on the Audio Object.
- The Rights that may be exercised on the Audio Object.
Note that.
- An Audio Object that does not include Sub-Scenes and only one Basic Audio Object is a Basic Audio Object.
- The Space-Time information of a Basic Audio Object, Audio Object included in an Audio Object may be superseded by the Space-Time information of the Audio Object containing it.

5 Conformance Testing
A Data instance Conforms with Audio Object (OSD-AUO) V1.3 if:
- The Data validates against the Audio Object’s JSON Schema.
- All Data in the Audio Object’s JSON Schema
- Have the specified type
- Validate against their JSON Schemas
- Conform with their Data Qualifiers.
