IfcRoot
Definition
from buildingSMART: The IfcRoot
is the most abstract and root class for all IFC entity definitions that
roots in the kernel or in subsequent layers of the IFC object model. It
is therefore the common supertype all all IFC entities, beside those
defined in an IFC resource schema. All entities that are subtypes of IfcRoot
can be used independently, whereas resource schema entities, that are
not subtypes of IfcRoot,
are not supposed to be independent entities.
The IfcRoot
assigns the globally unique ID, and the ownership and history
information to the entity. In addition it may provide for a name
and a description about the concepts.
