4.1.3.3.2.1.1.1. Space object for the building space type

The space type in the generic space object must be
- “floor”
The digital twin information provider must provide a space object that contains a space_type_specific object defined in the following diagram

When the digital twin information provider provides additional information about the floor, the composed_of property must be an array representing the list of physical space types separating the floor.
A floor must be part of a building
- The part_of property in the space generic object must refer to the building the floor belongs to and must provide the entire chain
  - building -> site

The detailed API specifications for each object can be found in the reference chapter.
