DAAST-1.0-wrapper-daastadtaguri
DAAST `<Wrapper>` must contain `<DAASTAdTagURI>`
Short answer
<DAASTAdTagURI> is the URL the player must fetch to retrieve the next DAAST response. Without it the wrapper cannot be resolved and the ad break will be empty.
Why this matters in production
This rule is usually a delivery blocker. Many players, SDKs, and ad servers will discard the response or skip the affected creative once this condition is hit. DAAST rules validate the structural and semantic requirements specific to digital audio ad serving. Audio-specific fields like Category, AdInteractions, and audio MediaFile attributes are required by the spec and are absent from standard VAST validation. Affected scope: DAAST 1.0 and 1.1 (all DAAST documents).
